Plum, mint, brambly blackberry and blueberry compote, earth and lacquer notes on the nose are plenty complex on this stalwart BC Merlot. It's a full-bodied, chewy Merlot, with jammy blackberry, black tea, white pepper, espresso and plum notes on the palate as well as light tannin and acidity and a bit of heat on the finish. Fulfills Merlot's great potential in British Columbia.
