Supple, expressive, delicious.
The reserve Merlot is from the single southwest facing, gravelly-soiled Blue Terrace Vineyard north of Oliver and it is delicious.
Black cherry, plums and blueberry aromas ascend from the glass followed by vanilla, baking spices, mocha and licorice. It is as expressive on the palate as the nose; plump and plush, purple fruits and chocolate dominate the palate. It's also quite muscular and intense yet supple and it culminates with powdery cocoa tannins.
