Tinhorn Creek Merlot 2020

Tinhorn Creek Merlot 2020 is a beautifully structured, expressive, and fruit-forward Canadian red wine crafted from estate-grown grapes harvested across the gravelly soils of the Okanagan Valley. Aged for 12 months in a balanced selection of French, American, and Hungarian oak barrels, it displays a deep, dark purplish-red color in the glass. The nose is highly aromatic, opening with enticing layers of chocolate-covered cherries, ripe blueberries, and dark plums, accented by delicate hints of sweet vanilla bean, cedar, and earthy leather. On the palate, this medium-to-full-bodied Merlot is rich and textured, offering juicy black-fruit flavors framed by firm yet velvety tannins and a lively line of acidity that carries into a long, dry, and savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with classic grilled beef steak, slow-cooked barbecued pork ribs, roasted rack of lamb, or sharp medium-aged cheddar cheese.
