Peller Estates, Private Reserve, 2007 Merlot, Okanagan Valley

interupt — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 05:21:59 +0000

Merlot has been given a bad rap as of late but there is no denying that it is making a resurgence.

The 07 Peller Estates Private Reserve Merlot, is easy to drink and at around $12 its easy on the wallet.

Lots of fruit, subtle chocolate and very approachable tannins.

If you’re not into tannic Bordeaux style varieties this is a great alternative

We recently had a private wine makers dinner with Stephanie Leinemann and I got the opportunity to get an autograph.
