Red Rooster Cabernet Merlot 2023

Red Rooster Cabernet Merlot 2023 is a beautifully balanced, full-bodied, and robust Canadian red wine blend originating from the sun-drenched vineyards of British Columbia's South Okanagan Valley. A classic blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, it undergoes precise tank fermentation before aging for 12 to 14 months in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels. It displays a deep, enticing garnet hue in the glass, releasing an aromatic bouquet of ripe blue plum, black currant, and dark cherry seamlessly layered with nuances of tobacco leaf, sweet spice, and smoky oak. On the palate, this extra-dry red offers a smooth yet structured mouthfeel with soft, drying tannins and a concentrated core of juicy black fruits, cocoa powder, and subtle baking spice that lingers elegantly on the finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled steak, roasted lamb shank, hearty beef stews, barbecue ribs, and aged sharp cheddar cheeses.
