Luscious, smooth and ample yet handsomely structured and disciplined. Blackberry-led fruit with dark chocolate, vanilla and a toasty, coffee-roast overtone. Lots to love. An impressive Okanagan merlot. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Approachable now, it should improve with up to six or seven years, perhaps longer. Available direct, stagshollowwinery.com.
