Hawley Merlot

Hawley Merlot Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: Made in a classic Bordeaux style, this is serious, mountain grown Merlot. It is deep in color, with complex aromas reminiscent of black cherries, blackberries, and plums with toasty, vanillin oak overtones from 20 months of aging in 50% new (and 50% used) French oak Chateau barrels. Again, no effort or expense is spared to craft this special wine. The wine is racked from barrel to barrel every three months to soften the tannins and eliminate the need for filtration. Though rich and velvety at release, additional cellaring will add increased complexity and depth.
