Introduction:
Sandhill Terroir Driven Cabernet – Merlot is a bold and full-bodied blend sourced from Okanagan Valley and Similkameen Valley vineyards. Composed of 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 18% Cabernet Franc, this wine showcases rich black fruit flavors, spice, and oak complexity, with a firm structure and lingering finish that make it a standout choice for refined palates.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Aromas of black currant, dark plum, spice box, oak, and a hint of smoke.
- Palate: Full-bodied and structured, featuring ripe black cherry, black currant, and spiced oak, balanced by soft drying tannins.
- Finish: Extra-dry and lingering, with notes of black tea, cocoa powder, blackberry, spicy oak, and roasted coffee bean.
Pairings:
Best enjoyed with aged Canadian Cheddar, Grana Padano cheese, and grilled red meats. Pairs exceptionally well with beef tenderloin, rosemary lamb chops, and pot roast. Decanting is recommended to enhance its depth and complexity.
