Vasanti Estate Merlot 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom southern Okanagan's Paradise Vineyard, this fuller merlot spent 21 months in American oak (partial new). Perfumed blackberry jam, baked plum, crushed violets roll the cushioned palate, with some hard press tannins pinning in the sides, through a clipped, bitter, baking spiced finish. I wish for less obvious oak here in future, to allow for more of a sense of place.Tasted: 16 February 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $39.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
