This Canadian red wine matured for 12 months in new and used French oak. It is very accessible, but also well-structured and can age for up to 10 years.   And this is what the Cabernet Merlot from Pillitteri Estates Winery tastes like The nose of Pillitteri's 2ß18 Cabernet Merlot is full of typical Cabernet aromas such as dark cherry, raspberry jam, licorice and black pepper. There are some subtle hints of Merlot in the blend, including nutmeg, clove and some soft red plum. A roasted and vanilla character also emerges and is a result of ageing in medium toasted French oak barrels. The palate complements the nose with similar characters and soft tannins. The wine from Niagara is smooth, with a balanced acidity that playfully emphasizes both the fruit and oak notes. A wonderful example of a successful blend of Cabernet and Merlot that pairs well with a wide range of foods.
