Pipe'Dreams Merlot 2014

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSweet, ripe and smoked black fruits dominate this merlot, quickly backed up with dried figs, shoe polish and medicinal cherry. This new Oliver winery has plucked ex-Sumac Ridge winemaker Mark Wendenburg, and the similarities in style are obvious. Over-ripe, rich, primary and wooded, with sweet, soft, polished tannins atop a mocha base to the short sweet and hot finish. Simple, commercial, sweet oaky red.Tasted: 02 February 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
