Description
Black Sage Vineyard Merlot
Black Sage Merlot exhibits big jammy plum, blueberry, smooth vanilla and a hint of smokiness on the nose. The palate has similar flavours of rich, ripe fruit and spices with pleasant smoky vanilla notes. The tannins are soft, and the finish is long, with the flavours lingering long after the last sip.
Pair this wine with grilled meats, roasted root vegetables, pork roast, mushroom burgers firm cheeses.
All Black Sage Vineyard wines are fermented in small lots, which allows for careful monitoring and direction. A combination of punch-down and pump-over fermenting extracts firm tannins from the grapes without aggressive harshness. The process is also temperature controlled to achieve a balance between colour, tannin extraction and fruit flavours.
