Since the annual
Wine Bloggers Conference draws participants from
across North America, one major benefit is the chance to taste wines from
inaccessible states. During this year's conference, Mika and TomJoe from
The Vineyard Trail brought along an Oklahoma wine: the
Canadian River Vineyards and Winery NV Merlot ($17). The Sooner state is home to about 50 wineries, with the largest number of vineyards located in central Oklahoma where CRV is located. The Merlot is estate grown and is a jammy fruit forward wine that races to the finish quite quickly.
There are very little tannins and it's fruit
character is most likely popular in the local Oklahoma market. Cheers to drink
local wine and The Vineyard Trail for sharing.
