2010 was a really good vintage for Merlot, I have tried many that have really impressed … and at such a young age. Ontario Merlot usually takes some times before its drinkable, but the 2010 are ready now with age-able pedigree. This Kacaba version is smooth right off the hop with vanilla, blueberry, blackberry and chocolate – the palate is supple and the tannins, while there, are unobtrusive. Price: $44.95 – Rating: ****+
