Township 7 Reserve 7 Benchmark Series 2022
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe blend in this Reserve 7 is 56% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Cabernet Franc, coming from two warm South Okanagan vineyards: Blue Terrace in Oliver; and Raju in Osoyoos. The wine spent 12 months in barrel, was blended, and then returned to barrel for 12 more months, in a mix of French and American oak barriques (10% new). Fresh, rounded Bing cherry opens with good tension and graphitic tannins. Bright cherry and red plum partner gracefully with more austere darker cabernet sauvignon notes. There's a long, precise, linear finish with fine textured, shale-like tannins that should elaborate further over the next few years.Tasted: 13 April 2026Tasted by: Brent GushowatyPrices:| BC | $38.97 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
