Nk’Mip Cellars Qwam Qwmt Merlot 2015, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦





🍇 Merlot

🧐 14.5%

🍁 My Score 90 Points

🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

Very expressive nose with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, black currants, baking spices, leather, chocolate and light toasty notes. On the mouthfeel, full bodied, broad texture, grainy tannins and light acidity. The finish is long, flavourful with black fruit and wood spices lingering.

Nk’Mip Cellars (pronounced in-ka-meep) is North America’s First Aboriginal owned and operated winery. Qwam Qwmt (pronounced Kw-em, kw-empt) as spoken by the Osoyoos Indian Band translate to "achieving excellence" and is their premium tier of wines. The winery and vineyards are located in the town of Osoyoos (7 km from the US border and the State of Washington) in Southern Okanagan Valley.

I am a longtime fan of Nk’Mip and all their quality wines across their portfolio. This was my last of three bottles purchased at the winery in 2018. This Merlot is like a warm blanket on a cold evening, very comforting. Cheers my wine friends 🍷
