Merlot 2006

Background

Made exclusively with fruit from our vineyard in Okanagan Centre.  Growing Merlot commercially on the 50th parallel may seem a little unusual but we enjoy the challenge.  We spend a lot of time tucking, thinning and trimming to create the right balance for each vine.  The grapes are the last to be harvested, allowing them to ripen and develop flavour until late fall.

Tasting Notes

One year in American oak has developed rich, toasty, cedar notes over dried fruit, raspberry and blackcurrant aromas. Mellow yet complex, this wine can be enjoyed now or benefit from careful cellaring.

Food Pairing 

Serve with braised chicken, lamb, stew and strong cheeses.
