Milepost Merlot 2022
A bright, energetic, and flavourful Merlot.
Our 10.5 acre vineyard is over 50% Merlot, and the Milepost has become another great expression of it, truly showcasing the "intersection" of styles, soils and techniques to show the variety that Merlot has to offer. This wine is from an exemplary year in the Okanagan, with a long, sunny and frost-free fall following a beautifully sunny and hot summer. Using minimal oak and encouraging expression of the grapes, the result is a bright, fruity Merlot that's ready to drink right away. It's become a favourite of staff and customers alike!

Tasting Notes
Deep burgundy to a cherry-red rim. Our 2022 Milepost is clean, with bright bramble fruits, a hint of violet and red licorice, dry tannin, balanced acidity and a core of warm spices and cocoa powder.
Food Pairing Notes
It’d be an excellent match to flank steak tacos or barbacoa (a fantastic pairing suggestion from a visiting club member recently).
