Julian Park rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Premium Merlot grapes were sourced from the Black Sage Bench in Oliver. Hand selected, hand picked, hand sorted and hand destemmed. Aged only in French oak barrels – 50% new. Only 100 cases made.

This is a full-bodied Merlot. Aromas of blackberries, plums, and dark spices. The palate is full and rich with firm, ripe, dusty tannins and sage, black licorice and roasted red capsicum to go alongside the cocoa powder and espresso. I would recommend decanting before drinking or allow further ageing.

Natalie's Review

Scorched Earth Winery Pask Merlot 2014, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia , Canada: A full-bodied and supple BC Merlot with a velvet texture on the tongue. Aromas of fleshy black plums and dark spice. Pask is the combination of the first letter of the names of the family: Peter, Anita, Shae and Kiana. The Merlot grapes were grown in the Oliver region of the Okanagan Valley and were hand-picked, sorted and de-stemmed. The wine was aged in French oak barrels, of which 50% was new. Only 100 cases were made of this wine. Pair with grilled lamb. Drink: 2017-2022. 13.50% D 750 mL $19.90 Score: 91/100. June 16, 2017 Top Rated Red Wine. Full Review
