BC Wine Reviews
  SandhillMerlot
Sandhill Merlot 'Sandhill Estate Vineyard', Okanagan BC, 2004
Another pretty Merlot from the Sandhill label tempting warmly with chocolate covered plum, banana and mint aromas. On the palate, fresh cherry, more plum and cedar box with a nip of acidity and a spiced finish.
$18.99 (+576751) UPC #00058976350322

Spiced aromatics, lychee, minerals, ripe pear and sweet orange blossom. Drier than the 2004 with a light-medium body and delicately spiced finish.
$15.90 Private wine stores
*Ontario-watch for this on LCBO shelves!
