Felcourt Mike’s Reserve Merlot 2015

A limited release of what could be called the ‘Top Secret’ wine of the year, and created by a very well-known winemaker from the West Coast, for friends and family. Strictly speaking this winemaker is not supposed to be producing his own wines for commercial release… but when we tasted this excellent Merlot we persuaded him to label a small quantity just for us. Very much a hush-hush project. Dry West Coast bush vines. A great opportunity to taste premium wine, for a very affordable price.
