Product Details
Merlot, Red Wine, California
Dark Horse Merlot is a medium-bodied Merlot with notes of dark berry and a layered finish. It complements both modest meals and gourmet dishes. As well as sitting nicely next to a plate of a slow roasted beef brisket or saucy vegetable lasagne, the Dark Horse Merlot is also a great fit when paired with mouthfuls of spicy jambalaya.
The unexpected winner. For us, winning means bringing you exceptionally crafted and well-balanced wine that overdelivers on your expectations. We do this by working side-by-side with 400 of California's finest grape growers to earn the first pick of their harvest. And, we taste our wine over 100 times before you pour your first glass.

Vinification Details
The grapes for our Dark Horse Merlot were harvested at optimum ripeness to ensure extraction of rich colours and velvety tannings. Warmer temperatures around 85°-88°F were used during fermentation in order to achieve more intense flavours and aromatics. After the fermentation was complete, the wine was aged on oak to add complexity and balance.
