Major Series Merlot 2022, Ernie Els Wines

Rich, plummy and luscious dark cherry is evident to start; balanced by notes of pipe tobacco, fresh tilled earth, and an elegant, herbaceous tone, including buchu and bay leaf. The palate follows, full of rounded, rich, fruit flavours and chewy, dense tannins, with a chalky and dry end.

Description

Radiant plum. A spark of flint scented with fresh ash and the talc of lipstick, a boudoir perfume; before rich red and black cherries, plums and a lift of mint. Succulent, and a touch creamy, dark fruit unfolds laced with vanilla undertones. A tinge of blood orange freshness highlights the whispery tannins, ever so smooth from gentle oak maturation. Black cherries and ripe plums echo into the long, fruited finish.

Ageing potential: The 2022 vintage will evolve five to eight years in the bottle.

Aged for 16 months in French Oak barrels (20% new)

Alcohol: 13.8% ABV
