Burrowing Owl Merlot - Bundle & Save

Burrowing Owl Estate Winery, situated in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, has been producing premium VQA wines since its establishment. The winery is committed to sustainable practices and meticulous vineyard management, ensuring the highest quality in their offerings.

The Merlot is a complex, intense, and ageable wine. Deep ruby in colour, it presents a powerful nose of black plum, baked blueberry, mint dark chocolate, violet, black licorice, vanilla, and clove. The palate is full-bodied, richly textured, and nicely balanced with fresh acidity and firm, ripe tannins. Flavours of ripe raspberry, shortbread, espresso, nutmeg, paprika, and sage linger through the long finish. This wine is expected to develop further complexity over the next five years and beyond. 

This Merlot pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye accompanied by a red wine demi-glace or roasted portobello mushrooms with herb butter. Together, these pairings enhance the wine’s depth and create an unforgettable dining experience.

As Rhys Pender, Master of Wine, noted, this Merlot is "a complex, intense and ageable Merlot" with a "long finish."
