Ripe, dark cherry notes and baking spices greet you on the nose, then the wine pours over your palate with a round, rich intensity balanced by fresh acidity and powdery tannins. Enjoy notes of cherry, plum, cocoa, and spicy oak while you consider dinner.
Our Merlot is great with beef Bourguignon, dark cuts of turkey with cranberry sauce, and roast beef or lamb.
The 2021 season had a reduced yield, resulting in an intensely flavourful harvest. All hand-picked and crushed on the day of picking. Aged 16 months in 80% French and 20% American oak, a third of which was new.
Pro ordering tip: our shipping boxes can fit 12-15 bottles, and we charge the same flat rate. Maximize your shipper to 15 bottles for the best rates!
