Merlot 2013
This is from Poplar Grove's Penticton vineyard, at the southern end of the Okanagan Lake, where grapes took on a spicy, gravelly depth of flavor in the warm 2013 vintage. Its black cherry fruit feels meaty in its concentration, savory and firm, a serious merlot for a grilled strip steak.
