Haywire Merlot 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Naramata's lauded King Family Vineyard, this merlot was native fermented in concrete before being basket pressed into French oak (30% new). Plush plum, cushy black cherry flood a ripe, juicy palate, with supple tannins and a healthy wood spice seasoning, with lingering baking spice notes on the finish. Drinking well now, ideally with grilled root veg and / or beef.Tasted: 29 March 2025Tasted by: Prices:
