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.
