  I was very impressed with this Merlot, the tannins are perfect to drink now. The body is medium to full with mild fruit, almost a Bordeaux blend. I could taste some blueberries and black currant, with a hint of smoke. Definitely a cellar worthy, too bad I only have 1 left.

  Medium deep red.
  A touch of age. Ripe red fruit. Earthy. Toast. Mint and mahogany. Caramel. Slight veg.
  Savory. Medium depth. Hint of gravelly tannin.
  Almost a tough of the old world. Combination of herb and age.

  Medium dark red in colour with slight fade at rim. Nose of black cherry, hints of spice and whiff of vanilla. Medium - full body with ripe and grippy tannins. Black cherry flavours get support from spicecake notes and subtle dried herb flavours. Round and rich, this has great balance. Should continue to develop for another decade. Excellent. www.advinetures.ca

  Dark and stormy crimson. Cherry, violet, and oak spice nose. Medium to full bodied, blackberries, pepper, dusty tannins, fresh tobacco, black cherries, and a dry, medium to long finish. No rush on this one.
