Tasting Notes

From Burrowing Owl estate vineyards in Osoyoos and Oliver, this wine aged for 14 months in French, American, Hungarian, and Russian oak. The result, as you might expect, is a spicebox of aromatics and flavours, infiltrating a plush, full body of kirsch, cassis, and blackberries, bitter espresso, and tobacco. Tannins are firm, though well integrated, providing more structure than perhaps you're expecting from a BC Merlot. This finishes dryly with ample bitter dark chocolate, welcoming pairing with grilled steak.
