Maya Jo Collection Merlot

Maya Jo Collection Merlot – Niagara Peninsula, Ontario

Soft, generous, and quietly sophisticated, the Maya Jo Collection Merlot highlights the approachable, cool-climate charm of Niagara red wine. This is a Merlot that focuses on purity and balance - ripe fruit, gentle tannins, and just enough structure to keep things interesting without overwhelming.

The nose offers inviting aromas of black cherry, plum, and raspberry, supported by hints of cocoa, baking spice, and a touch of cedar. On the palate, it’s smooth and medium-bodied, with supple tannins and juicy red-and-dark fruit flavours that glide into a warm, satisfying finish. Fresh Niagara acidity brings lift, making it exceptionally food-friendly.
