Tasting Note

Rubied with a violet core. Vividly fragrant; black and red cherries, plum compôte, printer’s ink, wild raspberry leaf, forest. Molten cherries come to the fore of the palate, cresting on a wave of airy, pillowy tannins; then blackberries, plums, and tangy redcurrants. The wine rises in sapidity towards the finish, going savoury with crushed coriander spice in the echo.

Named after the golfing legend himself, it beautifully embodies an ethos of excellence. With every sip, Ernie Els Major Series Merlot promises a tasteful journey of complex, profound notes that perfectly complement both hearty meat dishes or a tranquil sunset.
