Enjoyable, smooth, balanced. Produced by and bottled at Meyer Family Vineyards, Mayhem was developed with a nod to new market opportunities--the wines offer different selections and prices than MFV wines, so compliment rather than compete. The line is a combined effort of MFV's Janice Stevens Meyer and Jak Meyer, with family members Terry Meyer Stone and Andrew Stone. Their motto: From chaos and mayhem come opportunities.
This Reserve Merlot was grown on the Anarchist Mountain Vineyard in Osoyoos; it was aged in 50% new and 50% seasoned French oak for 18 months.
Purple berries and plums, dried violets, vanilla, cedar chips and black olives, chocolate, baking spices and sage aromas lead to a smooth palate with medium+ body. Anise, coffee, cocoa nibs, toasted oak and tobacco flavours dominate. Nicely balanced, an enjoyable Merlot.
