Tinhorn Creek's premium Merlot is spicy and substantial with plums and black cherries, sarsaparilla and vanilla, sweet chocolate and spice with meaty undertones. The palate is smoky - plums and black cherry reappear and are layered with leather, bittersweet chocolate, spice and dried herbs. It has a slightly saline character with bright fruit, lovely balance and ripe tannins.
Recommended pairings: roasts, stews, grilled prime beef and Camembert cheese.
