2018 Reserve Merlot
In Stock
Our 2017 Reserve Merlot was grown in two of our estate vineyards - Black Sage Bench in Oliver, and Osoyoos. Black Sage Bench is an incredibly diverse vineyard with more than 60 different individual blocks. This affords us an amazing array of premium quality fruit. Osoyoos, the region’s most southern area, is comprised of arid bench-lands that benefit from the lake’s effect providing the region with more than 200 frost-free days. This warm climate allows our Bordeaux varietals to completely ripen for full flavour.
