Little Engine 'Union' Red Blend - Okanagan Valley, BC

 

Producer's Notes: 

An elegant expression, this wine opens with a pretty, aromatic nose of brambly red fruit and creamy vanilla. The palate is layered and expressive, revealing blueberry and blackberry alongside enticing notes of tobacco leaf and subtle herbal nuances. With a seamless harmony of fruit, spice, and freshness, it is perfectly balanced from start to finish, leaving a graceful, lingering impression. 

What We Say:

Built around Merlot and complemented by Cabernet Franc and Malbec, this Bordeaux-inspired blend balances generous fruit with herbal nuances, bright acidity, and well-integrated oak. Merlot's plush fruit and rounded texture, combined with Cabernet Franc's freshness and savoury character and Malbec's structure, create a rich yet balanced dark red. The nose features blackcurrant, ripe blackberries, and dark cherry, followed by hints of red licorice, dried herbs, cedar, and warm spice. The palate carries approachable tannins, lively acidity, and oak-derived nuances that add complexity.
