"Tinhorn Creek's Oldfield Reserve Merlot is a standout" - Paul Gregutt, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Our Cabernet Franc from the Black Sage Bench arrives at the winery nice and cold from early morning picks. Fermentation are long and slow to ensure the gentle extraction of colour, tannin and flavour. The wine is aged in a mix of French, American and Hungarian oak barrels for 14 - 16 months before bottling. The colour shows a youthful purple hue with good depth. The nose a dusty cocoa powder note with black cherry, strawberry and rhubarb pie and crust. Lots of red currant and rhubarb on the palate, and fine tannins and bright acidity give the tactile profile of a good Chianti, but with new world freshness of red fruits.
"Benefiting from an exceptional Southern Okanagan Valley vintage for Bordeaux varieties and fine craftsmanship, the 2014 edition of the Oldfield Reserve (formally, Oldfield Series) is their best yet. Sourced from their Black Sage Bench vineyard and blended with 15% Cabernet Franc, this already 5-year-old Merlot offers an expressive nose of maturing aromas: blue and red fruits, Nutella, black raspberry seeds and caramelized vanilla. The feminine notes continue on the fine tannin and brambly, yet, creamy palate where ripe blackberry meets spicy oak in a symbiotic symphony of flavour. The finish is long and smooth with a touch of lingering menthol. Ready to go now. Drink 2017-2021" - 92 points, Liam Carrier, Icon Wines, August 2017.
