British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, a region increasingly celebrated for its robust reds, is home to this compelling Phoenix Cabernet Merlot. This blend thrives on the valley's warm days and cool nights, yielding fruit with remarkable depth and structure. Expect a generous pouring of dark fruit, a subtle kiss of oak, and a smooth, lingering finish that makes it an ideal partner for grilled beef or a rich pasta dish.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma: Ripe blackcurrants, dark cherries, and a whisper of cedar.

  • Finish: Medium-to-full bodied with supple tannins and a satisfying, lingering finish.

Perfect Food Pairings
