It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The streets, houses and stores are all decked out for the holidays. Everyone is getting in the spirit. And, the weatherman said that we might be getting some snow next week which will make a perfect backdrop to the décor.
I’ve been busy making hearty one-dish meals and opening delicious red wines this past week.
One of the pours was Inniskillin Dark Horse Meritage 2011 from Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. It is a beautiful blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. All the grapes for this “single-vineyard” wine come from The Dark Horse vineyard located on the Golden Mile in the heart of the Okanagan Valley which is considered one of the best zones for quality fruit.
The color of the wine was ruby red with aromas of red fruits and berries, cherry and hints of cocoa. The palate offered lovely layers of dark cherry, juicy plum and spice with hints of oak and vanilla, complemented by soft tannins and a long finish. Alcohol: 14%

The wine complemented the pumpkin raviolis, sautéed veggies and seared salmon that my friend prepared for us. My only regret that evening was that I didn’t have another bottle of this superb wine to open!
