Burrowing Owl Estate Winery Meritage 2018 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 96/100

Burrowing Owl 2018 Meritage is a dry, full-bodied and rich red wine blend of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot. Each varietal was aged separately in oak barrels (70% French) for 15 months prior to the final assemblage. The final blended wine was aged an additional three-plus months in barrel prior to bottling. Look for bright flavours of cassis, black cherry, spiced plum, savoury herbs and soft vanilla notes. Beautifully balanced and well-crafted by the winery's founder and winemaker, Jim Wyse. Pour with a bacon-wrapped beef filet mignon.

Meritage food pairings: slow roasted duck, roast beef, tourtière.

Delightful Duck Wine
