Like other reds from the Black Sage Vineyard, these vines dig deep to produce an elegant wine. Aged in French and American oak for 18 months, the 2020 Black Sage Vineyard Merlot displays intense aromas of red and dark fruit, with a hint of plum and vanilla. 

This Merlot exhibits big jammy plum, blueberry, smooth vanilla and a hint of smokiness on the nose. The palate has similar flavours of rich ripe fruit and spices with pleasant smoky vanilla notes. The tannins are soft and the finish is long with the flavours lingering long after the last sip. Pair this wine with grilled meats, roasted root vegetables, pork roast, mushroom burgers firm cheeses.
