Cannonball Merlot pours a rich ruby-red colour with garnet highlights. The nose is inviting and expressive, showing aromas of plum, blackberry, black cherry, and hints of vanilla, mocha and gentle spice.
On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied, smooth, and approachable, with ripe red and dark fruit flavours supported by soft, velvety tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long, polished, and subtly spiced, making it easy to enjoy on its own or with food.
About
Cannonball crafts wines with focus on quality, accessibility and flavour. Their Merlot highlights the grape’s characteristic softness and rich fruit profile, producing a versatile, crowd-pleasing red suitable for many occasions.
Vineyards: Grapes are sourced from selected California vineyards, where warm days and cooler nights create ideal conditions for full ripening and balanced acidity. The soils contribute to structure, complexity and depth of flavour.
Winemaking: Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, gently destemmed and fermented in small batches to preserve varietal character. Ageing in a combination of French and American oak adds texture and subtle complexity while keeping fruit flavours prominent.
Ideal with...
Cannonball Merlot pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, mushroom-based dishes, pasta with red sauce, and soft cheeses. Its smooth tannins and fruit-forward style also make it enjoyable on its own.
