Cannonball 2020 Merlot is a consistent crowd pleaser red and great value as well at $23. Dry, medium-plus-bodied and fruit driven with dark berry, plum, bright cherry, baking spices, cocoa and smoky vanilla flavours rich, smooth and lingering on the palate. Pour with BBQ fare or enjoy on its own.

Merlot food pairings: pork chops, turkey, roast duck, beef, coq au vin.

Reviews and Ratings

Cannonball 2020 Merlot is a consistent crowd pleaser red and great value as well. Lush with aromas of baked red berry, strawberry, dry, medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with dark berry, plum, mint and black cherry compote flavours with a touch of cocoa on the finish. Tannins are rounded and well-integrated. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
