Getting better. This baby had plum, raspberries, mocha, vanilla, nutmeg. Well balanced on acid and alcohol. Long but smooth finish.

Generally not big on Merlot, but I liked this one and it was a good price.

Nice merlot grows on you after oxidizing. A bit pricey but nice to support BC wines

Plum tones in the nose. It tastes very heavy and peppery. Nice dark cherry flavour with limited tannins. Good, but not my thing.

It pops and bursts with flavour. A great wine especially for this price point

This is a good BC Merlot. Found on the 2012 wine tasting tour to Osoyoos.
