Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
After you decant this wine, savour the deep and intensely aromatic notes of blackberries, fruitcake, and cedar in your glass. On the palate, this complex wine is beautiful with a lingering, red fruit finish.
Winemaker Notes
This Meritage is a blend of 65% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc. A third of the Merlot was estate-grown with the remainder coming from vineyards in the Okanagan and Similkameen. The Cabernet Sauvignon came from a vineyard in the Similkameen, the Cabernet Franc from a vineyard near Oliver in the Okanagan. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks and gently pressed before spending almost a year in French and American oak barrels. After bottling in June 2018, the wine was aged another 12 months in our cellars before release.
Food Pairing Notes
Pair this food-friendly Meritage with a porterhouse steak, deer, elk, flavourful cheeses such as farmhouse cheddar or aged gouda, or chocolate truffles.
