WineDiva's Review

Smoky, spicy, elegant.
Made from vines planted in 1968, the same year Hester Creek was established, 50 years ago, this old vines Merlot delivers aromas of smoked plums, spice rub, leather and char-grilling meat. The palate is elegant and has distinct saline and umami flavours wrapped with red fruits, cocoa and spice. Good balance overall, it is a medium-bodied red with a fine dusting of tannins.

Recommended Pairings
