Inniskillin - Dark Horse Meritage

Producer: Inniskillin
Name: Dark Horse Meritage
Varietal: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2006
Region: Okanagan, Canada
Price: ~ $25

The Inniskillin Meritage was the first wine that really started piquing my interest in how wine was made. When I was bartending I would sit down with a bottle of this after almost every shift. Thinking about the blend and why they did what they did. Comparing the current vintage with past vintages and how things have changed. A wonderful wine simply for my own selfish and sentimental reasons.

The bouquet is rich with cassis, black cherry, chocolate, earthy notes. It's a full bodied wine with a long dry finish. Tastes of spice, dark berries and chocolate, this wine is balanced and complex that keeps you sitting and contemplating at the bar until the late hours of the night.
