Merlot 2009

This wine is grown in the Kelliher vineyard on Osoyoos East Bench, two properties north of our home vineyard. The wine was matured in 225 L barriques, about a third of which were new French and American oak.

The nose of this medium bodied red wine showcases the nicely concentrated dark, rich plum and ripe black fruit, enhanced by dried spice and elegant, sweet floral violet notes. The palate is generous with dark red cherry, plum and roasted hazelnut and vanilla notes. The finish is long and lingering with considerable round and soft tannins. This is a rich and elegant wine with well balanced fruit, acid and tannins that will age well in bottle.
