Okanagan Valley

SUB-APPELLATION
Golden Mile Bench

VINEYARD SOURCE
100% estate grown Merlot from Arise Bench.

WINEMAKING
Matured for 16 months in a a combination of new (18%), 1-year old (27%) and 2+ year old (55%) French oak barrels.

TASTING NOTE
Our new vintage of Merlot is elegant and refined.  Aromatics of blackberry and raspberry bramble fruits are mirrored on the palate, conjuring up flavors of rich dark chocolate. This wine finishes with a lingering spicy note with a hint of toasted oak that will make you want to pour another glass.

FOOD PAIRING
Ossobuco alla Milanese served on a bed on creamy saffron risotto garnished with a classic parsley gremolata.
