A thickly scaled, rich and rumbling Cab-Merlot blend to fire up your engine. Cab and Merlot come together like an iteration of the eternal pairs seen across every corner of the world’s mythologies – together forever through text, art and memory. A warm, rusty ruby hue at the edges, but with a deeper, bloodier centre. Cab brings the earth, berries and greens, while Merlot boasts a fleshy fullness and sweet, woodsy botanicals. Spices dangle about the palate, like chatting long after a steak-spice-seasoned dinner on your last trip to Montreal, and stopping to pick roadside blackberries in your oldest leather jacket on the way home. Snug like the inside of a vintage coffee tin, with shoots of green reaching out like the pale underbelly of a giant backyard zucchini. Herbaceous with crushed, dried dill, while fresh bay leaf and cedar frond sway on their branches. A plum upside-down cake and Madagascar vanilla pod rings in the earthy and ethereal air & dark chocolate truffles seduce your tongue on the finish, making another sip a given. Pour alongside gamey dishes and campfire sing-a-longs, with the resident coyotes howling just over yonder. GOOD FOR — Finding inspiration when brainstorming the name of your next pet. Discussing, heatedly, your favourite ABBA album. Enjoying with the sloppiest, squeakiest poutine imaginable. Reading your favourite who-dun-it, bring on the cliff-hangers!
