I was in Osoyoos for the weekend visiting some family and during our Saturday night dinner we all shared a bottle of 2006 Nk’Mip Merlot. Until last year, I wasn’t very familiar with Nk’Mip wines, but I’ve gotten to taste quite a few of them this year, and have been pleasantly surprised. Their winery is actually just down the street from my mother-in-law’s place, so it’s an easy stop-off when we’re pressed for time. Their facility is actually quite incredible. They have an executive 9-hole golf course, campground, Patio restaurant, resort & spa, and a cultural centre. You can read all about it HERE. If you’re in the area, it is definitely worth stopping by. I fully intend to play a round of golf there this summer, if I can find the time.
Here are my tasting notes:
Appearance: Maroon. No browning. Dark and clear. Very slight purple edge.
Smell: Currants and plums. And some leather.
Taste: Leather and currants.
Overall: Good wine. Quite a wet wine and not too sweet. We had it with a pot roast, which it complemented quite well.
Rating: 3.5 / 5
