Hester Creek Old Vine Merlot

Hester Creek Old Vine Merlot – Okanagan Valley, British Columbia

Producer's Notes:

This old vine Merlot has aromas of cherry, anise, sage and cola that lead the way on this wine. Light tertiary notes of tobacco, leather and allspice envelop flavours of ripe cherries and smooth mocha. Aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels. An age-worthy wine that can be cellared for 7-10 years.

What we say:

Rich, velvety and beautifully structured, Hester Creek’s Old Vine Merlot showcases the depth and maturity that older South Okanagan vineyards can deliver. Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and dark cherry unfold alongside hints of cocoa, cedar and warm baking spice. The palate is full and generous, with plush tannins, concentrated dark fruit and a refined oak influence that adds texture and complexity. Balanced acidity keeps the wine fresh, leading to a smooth, lingering finish with savoury undertones.
