Nk’ Mip Cellars Mer’r’iym (pronounced Mur’-eem’) means “marriage”, showcases perfect matrimony in the blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Inspired by the classic Bordeaux blend, this Canadian expression is putting the Okanagan Valley on the map. Balancing lushness with a pleasant structure, this wine is perfect for curling up in front of the fireplace.
The nose is full of aromas of blackberry, tobacco, juniper and mint.
Nk'Mip describes the wine as having "aromas are of blueberries, black currant, smoke and tobacco with with flavours of dark fruit and cherry leading into a lengthy structured finish."
The winery recommends to "pair with beef stroganoff with cremini and porcini mushrooms or roasted leg of lamb with herbs and grilled eggplant parmesan."
