Single vineyard Merlot expression, from vines that are franc de Pied (Pie Franco) on the east bench of Osoyoos’ Le Faucon vineyard and its distinct sandy, white silica soils. This 2017 is quite expressive with a deeply aromatic nose and a firm structure. Dark-fruitted aromas are joined with aromatic herbs. The tannins are granulous, and the wine can seem tight at first. It will benefit from decanting to soften & open up.
