Bench 1775 Merlot 2013

Bench 1775 Merlot 2013 is an expressive, rich Canadian red wine harvested from select vineyards across the Okanagan Valley. Reflecting the warm conditions of the 2013 growing season, it presents inviting aromas of iris blossoms, sagebrush, and ripe dark berries. On the palate, it delivers concentrated flavors of dark Okanagan cherry, soft plum, and dried thyme, complemented by subtle hints of cocoa and vanilla. Framed by smooth, integrated tannins and a supple mouthfeel, it culminates in a long, velvety finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with braised lamb shanks, roasted beef covered in gravy, roasted winter vegetables, or grilled pork chops.
