Burrowing Owl Meritage 2020

Product description

Burrowing Owl Estate Winery, established in 1993, is located in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. The winery is renowned for its commitment to sustainable viticulture and producing premium VQA wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.

Wine Description

The 2020 Burrowing Owl Meritage is a blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc, 8.5% Malbec, and 6.5% Petit Verdot. This wine presents a vibrant and powerful profile with aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry, plum, blueberry pie, ripe black cherry, vanilla, dark chocolate, and orange zest, accompanied by hints of dried herbs, cedar, and violet. The palate is nicely balanced with a full body, firm acidity, and ripe tannins, providing structure for aging. Flavours of blackberry, sage, thyme, and paprika meld into a graphite minerality on the long finish. This wine is approachable now and will continue to develop complexity over the next 10+ years.

Food Pairing

This Meritage pairs wonderfully with grilled tenderloin with a peppercorn sauce or black bean ragù with grilled portobello mushrooms.
