TINHORN CREEK OLDFIELD SERIES MERLOT 750 ml

From the vineyards of British Columbia, Canada, emerges the TINHORN CREEK OLDFOLD SERIES MERLOT, a bold red wine that captures the essence of its Merlot varietal roots. This 750 ml bottle, clocking in at 14.70% ABV with a subtle sweetness level of 01, invites you into a world of depth and complexity right from the pour.

Picture the liquid's intense hue—a rich purple-red that echoes the earthiness of nature itself.

It's an aroma profile that hints at layers waiting to unfold.

On the tongue, this full-bodied Merlot starts firm and structured, delivering a compact rush of espresso's roasted depth, the sweet chew of black licorice, and whispers of baking spices. Patience rewards here; give it about an hour to open in the glass, and softer fruit tones surface—dried cherries with the juicy snap of fresh plum. That vibrant acidity slices through, lending a lively lift that keeps everything balanced and refreshing.

The tannins stand out for their density without overwhelm, focused and precise, promising elegance as the wine evolves.
