Description
The Harris Merlot is very consistent from vintage to vintage, and this wine is no exception. Elegant display of red fruit flavors layered with berry, cherry, vanilla and toasty oak. Firm tannins support the wine’s well-proportioned structure through the long and persistent finish. The 50-acre Harris Vineyard is located in western Oakville, just east of Branding Iron Vineyard. Nickel & Nickel’s five acres are comprised of two blocks that offer a southern exposure and soil of gravelly clay loam. Thinning passes allow each cluster to hang freely, optimizing the trellis system, and taking advantage of the warm climate to reach full maturity.
