The grapes for our Merlot were selected from premier California vineyards by our Winemaker Beth Liston. The warm and dry weather combined with minimal heat spikes make the ideal growing season. Canopy management played a key role in allowing just the right amount of sunlight on the berries, resulting in a perfect balance of vibrant flavours and aromas.

Dark Horse Merlot has robust flavours with smooth tannins. Rich aromas of dark, jammy blackberries are complemented by toasted oak with a long, plush finish

The grapes for our Dark Horse Merlot were harvested at optimum ripeness to ensure extraction of rich colours and velvety tannings. Warmer temperatures around 85°-88°F were used during fermentation in order to achieve more intense flavours and aromatics. After the fermentation was complete, the wine was aged on oak to add complexity and balance.
