'Nota Bene' Black Hills Winery, Black Sage Bench, Okanagan Valley BC 2008
This is a finely tuned example of what great Meritage should be - sweet oak and skin tannins, jammy blackberry over cedar notes and loads of mineral, showing off the distinct Black Sage Bench terroir. A big, dark and elegant wine which will reward us all with a vigorous decanting (i would suggest letting it sit in the decanter for a good fifteen minutes before enjoying - so be sure to order it for your mains as soon as you sit, that way it'll be ready for you!). This wine is hard to find even in its native province, and we're lucky enough to be able to bring it to you at such a stunning value.
