A more elegant than powerful wine. Intense and a pure and unique complexity. Fine wood and gentle toast showing blackberry, raspbery, blackcherry, truffle and meaty notes. Impresive power, with a palate of fine dark chocolate, and fruit flavours followed by a long, naunced and clean finish.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Wonderfully ripe grapes from the 2020 vintage produced a wine with powerful notes of blueberry and blackberry that interplay with notes of truffle and leather. The palate is full-bodied with supple tannins with a long, clean finish. Drink from 2027 with aging potential 2030 to 2032.
Food Pairing Notes
A full-bodied Merlot such as this pairs best with rich, savory and umami-forward dishes that balance its tannins and highlight its dark fruit. Try this 2020 Terroir Merlot with ribeye steaks, earthy lamb chops or shanks or lean and savory game meats such as venison or wild boar. This wine will also pair well with rich and hearty dishes such as beef bourguignon, lasagna or mushroom risotto. For cheese try with milder blue cheeses or aged cheddars.
