Maverick Estate Winery Merlot 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA terrific vintage has yielded a gem of a merlot at Maverick. This has all the South Okanagan benchmarks, including phenolic ripeness, cedar, tobacco leaf and savoury desert herb notes, with a pleasing jolt of juicy plummy, mineral fruit. Supple and spicy, you can drink this now with some grilled lamb, or cellar it through 2028. It is an elegant, food-friendly merlot best enjoyed over the next five years.Tasted: 09 July 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
