Lakeboat Merlot 2023

Kaleden, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWe enjoy the juicy, fragrant style of this wine, which seems to be a merlot you can depend on and drink the moment you get it home. Lakeboat wines tend toward an approachable, fruit-forward style. Look for plenty of plummy, black-cherry fruit, soft tannins, and just enough oak to support all that without overwhelming it. Definitely easy sipping and ready to drink at an affordable price. Pure fun, all value.Tasted: 15 May 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
