The Story Behind The Bottle

Dark Horse Merlot 750ml
Our Selection

Habits Bottle Shop

The Story

Dark Horse Merlot offers a distinctive take on a traditional Californian Merlot, embracing a sophisticated and intriguing character rather than following a strictly classic profile. Expect ripe, dark red fruit and a smooth, approachable texture that stays true to the variety while carving out its own identity.

The Craft

This Merlot is a versatile red for the dinner table. Pour it with roast chicken, grilled pork tenderloin, or a simple pasta with red sauce, letting its soft tannins and fruit-forward character complement the meal. It's also a comfortable match for milder cheeses like gouda or brie.

The Detail

Dark Horse has built a reputation for bold, well-priced California wines with real character, and this Merlot fits right into that lineup. Shop this Dark Horse Merlot online at Habits Bottle Shop and add a smooth, food-friendly red to your collection.

On The Rocks

A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.

Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
