Tinhorn Creek Merlot 2023 🍁

Aromas of ripe black cherry and red current are layered with subtle hints of cocoa, followed by a supple palate of juicy raspberry, dark plum and mocha, supported by fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity for lift and focus.

The 2023 growing season in the Okanagan Valley unfolded against the backdrop of a distinctive year defined by early bud break and favourable spring conditions. The mild temperatures at the start of the season encouraged uniform shoot growth and healthy canopy development across the vineyards. As summer progressed, the region experienced a warm and dry stretch that proved ideal for grape maturation. Consistent sunshine and moderate to warm daytime temperatures allowed for steady ripening, while cooler nights helped retain natural acidity.
