The days are getting cooler and the nights are getting cozier. Red wine starts to shine in the fall time, and Petrichor Cabernet Merlot 2020 is our pick for enjoying a night in.
The word ‘petrichor’ is a term coined by Australian scientists to describe the unique and pleasant earthy smell associated with rain falling on dry earth. This Cab Merlot is a true expression of the Niagara Peninsula wine region’s exceptional terroir, which makes ‘petrichor’ the perfect name for it.
A full-bodied red, Petrichor Cabernet Merlot has alluring flavour notes of dark berry, spiced plum, toasty oak and mineral. And, of course, the rich and balanced aroma of petrichor.
This meticulous blend of Cab Franc, Merlot, Cab Sauv, Syrah and Dornfelder grapes grown in the Niagara Peninsula is well-priced at under $20. The wine is hand-picked then pressed with minimal intervention throughout the vinification process to ensure full-bodied, balanced flavours.
We recommend pairing Petrichor Cabernet Merlot 2020 with our Rigatoni with Better than Gigi Hadid’s Vodka Sauce followed by our decadent Vegan Chocolate Mousse.
