Ripe, toasted, chocolate.
Located in Keremeos, in the arid Similkameen Valley, Robin Ridge makes wine entirely from estate fruit.
This Merlot is plummy and has sweet black raspberry atop secondary notes of toffee, balsamic, pipe tobacco and cocoa. The palate follows suit, woven with strawberry jam, toffee and balsamic with dried cherry flavours; the finish is spicy. Nice brightness here for the age of the wine.
