Wine Description: One of Canada's benchmark Bordeaux-style blends, Burrowing Owl's Meritage is crafted from estate vineyards in the southern Okanagan Valley. The region's warm, sunny days and cool evenings allow each varietal to ripen fully while retaining freshness and elegance. Carefully matured in French oak, this flagship wine showcases the depth, balance and age-worthy character that have made Burrowing Owl one of Canada's most acclaimed wineries.

Tasting Notes: Expressive aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum are complemented by cedar, cocoa and baking spice. The palate is rich and layered, revealing blackberry, cassis and subtle savoury notes framed by polished tannins. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced.
