Youthful, spiced, chocolate.
This 2018 vintage Naramata Bench Merlot was matured 18-months in French oak barrels (partially new) and is unflitered.
Plum and black cherry aromas meld with vanilla, pipe tobacco and mocha. An echo of the nose, the palate provides purple fruit, oak, spice and chocolate flavours. It's still has some angularity and the tannins need to soften so it will benefit from time.
