Merlot 2022

Okanagan Valley

Aromas of ripe plum, dark cherry, and blackberry layered with a
whisper of vanilla. On the palate, fruit takes center stage with plum,
blackcurrant, and a hint of raspberry, all structured by fine, velvety
tannins that add depth without overpowering. The finish is balanced
and persistent, leaving a clean impression of dark fruit and
understated spice.
