Ruby Blues Cabernet Merlot 2022
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2022 Cabernet Merlot blends 37.5% cabernet sauvignon and 37.5% cabernet franc, along with 25% merlot, from a quartet of Naramata Bench vineyards. Pouring a deep / opaque hue, this compact red shows dark earth, bitter cassis and brown spices, with hard press tannins finishing with a bitter espresso note. Not much love to find here solo, but a rustic stew / braise will help coax out some charm.Tasted: 21 April 2025Tasted by: Prices:BC | $47.90 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
