Product Notes

Cannonball Merlot wine is an exquisite Californian beverage known for its rich, velvety composition. It greets the palate with an explosion of dark, ripe fruits, including blackberries and plums, effortlessly complimented by a hint of mocha. Aged in oak barrels, this wine carries a subtle undertone of decadent spice. Remarkably full-bodied and well-structured, the Cannonball Merlot lingers with a smooth, satisfying finish. This enchanting red wine is undoubtedly ideal for people who acknowledge the fine art of winemaking. Crafted for the refined palate, it is best enjoyed with hearty, flavourful meals.

Tasting Notes

Euphoria in a bottle. The aroma of the wine shows fresh berries, cayenne spice and dried walnuts with nuances of toasty oak. Begin with a full silky entry with sophisticated structure, wonderful concentration and playful texture peeking through, slowly building into an engaging finish of fresh cherries, rich chocolate and spiced cake. On the palate, the wine is medium-full bodied with classic Bordeaux proportions. The wine finishes with perfectly balanced texture and flavor and a refreshing brightness. An absolute pleasure to enjoy on its own, the lush ripe tannins of this Merlot also pair well with a wide range of foods including salmon, pork, root vegetables and aged cheeses. Its expansive persona has enough backbone to accompany red meats, Asian duck and pasta with rich sauces. Enjoy!
