Merlot 2016

Merlot
Dark cherry with berry mocha.
This wine presents itself in the glass in rich ruby red, with a seductive clarity and an elegant shimmer.
The nose is caressed by intense notes of black fruits, accompanied by subtle nuances of vanilla and chocolate.
On the palate, a harmonious interplay of ripe black berries, mocha and French oak unfolds, perfectly balanced with lively acidity.
The 2016 growing year was an exceptional one. Temperatures were hot but consistent, resulting in balanced and beautifully ripe fruit. September cooled to slow sugar development while the aromas and tannins continued to develop well. This vintage is now considered a textbook “Okanangan Vintage.” The result was a powerful, noble Merlot.
Painted Rock is featured in the best wine clubs in London and is still an insider tip in the rest of Europe. That won't be the case for much longer!
No matter what aspect of winemaking you choose or what external factor you consider, John Skinner's plan for the best possible wine quality at Painted Rock is uncompromising. No detail is overlooked. For example, the valuable soil of the existing peach orchard was not leveled, but each tree stump was removed individually before vines were planted. And the Syrah was planted where a cool air flow through a small ravine creates the perfect microclimate. The list of examples is endless.
