NEW, tight, spiced.
A fresh look and distinct new separation from the Inniskillin brand, the Dark Horse Vineyard wines are grown on the prestigious Golden Mile Bench just outside of Oliver.
Thee Meritage blend was aged 16 months in French and American oak and offers spicy black currents, wild purple berries, cigar, vanillin oak, baking spices and pipe tobacco aromas. There is a generosity of fruit here, and oodles of spice, mocha and licorice. Tight and somewhat astringent it has some sharp angles that need to soften. The finish is spicy, hot and has bitter coffee and clove flavours.
65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc.
