Privato Vineyard and Winery Merlot 2021
British Columbia, CanadaThis single vineyard merlot originates from the Black Sage Hills in Oliver. Post-ferment, it spends 18 months maturing in French and American oak, followed by an additional 12 months in bottle. The result is a lean profile of peppery, red, raw cherry. Skinny and savoury, this wine is best served with high fat dishes to balance its acidity and absorb the fat at the same time. Slow roasted pork or caramelized roasted root vegetables would be a solid match.Tasted: 06 June 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
