{"product_id":"jackson-triggs-reserve-winemaker-series-merlot-bundle-save","title":"Jackson Triggs Merlot Reserve Winemaker Series - Bundle \u0026 Save","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating from Canada in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, specifically within the Okanagan Valley VQA appellation, Jackson Triggs Reserve Select Winemaker Series Merlot represents an approachable, generous, and fruit-forward expression of Canadian red winemaking. Founded in 1993 by Allan Jackson and Don Triggs, the winery has grown to become one of the cornerstone estates of Canadian viticulture, celebrated for producing accessible, varietally expressive VQA wines. The grapes for the Reserve Select series are sourced from prime sun-exposed benchlands across the South and Central Okanagan, where well-draining glaciolacustrine sandy loam and gravelly soils allow Merlot vines to thrive under high sunshine hours. In the cellar, the winemaking philosophy centres on gentle de-stemming, stainless steel fermentation with temperature-controlled skin contact to extract vibrant color and soft tannins, followed by maturation in a combination of French and American oak casks for 8 to 12 months. The result is a round, smooth, and crowd-pleasing red wine that balances plush dark fruit generosity, subtle sweet baking spices, and balanced cool-climate freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine presents a luminous, clear medium-to-deep ruby red colour with garnet reflections along the rim. An expressive, highly perfumed bouquet opens with noble aromas of ripe black plum, dark cherry, blackberry jam, and blueberry, interwoven with sophisticated notes of dried herbs, cocoa powder, vanilla bean, subtle tobacco leaf, and warm oak pastry spice. On the palate, it is medium bodied, silken, and energetic, delivering concentrated flavours of dark stone fruits, ripe boysenberry, and savoury mineral earth, all supported by a bright, mouthwatering spine of natural cool-climate acidity. Framed by supple, rounded tannins and a soft, approachable mid-palate structure, it concludes with a long, persistent finish marked by lingering plum, milk chocolate, and subtle toasted oak spice. Composed predominantly of Merlot, this release offers an optimal drinking window spanning 2 to 5 years from release. Stylistically, it combines Okanagan sun-ripened fruit richness, velvety mouthfeel, and everyday food friendliness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","offers":[{"title":"12 Pack","offer_id":44617146368087,"sku":null,"price":197.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 Pack","offer_id":44617146400855,"sku":null,"price":372.3,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Jackson-Triggs-Merlot-Reserve-Winemaker-Series-x12.jpg?v=1793910171","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/jackson-triggs-reserve-winemaker-series-merlot-bundle-save","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
