Think tropical fruit cheescake - crisp fruit and creamy texture. This wine displays a rich golden tone, with brilliant clarity. There are expressive aromas of golden apple, figs and ripe pear. These aromas integrate nicely with richer aromas of light caramel, truffle, and a nice complement of toasted vanillin oak. There is a very appealing earthy tone. On the palate, the wine is rich and full on the attack, encompassed by a full-bodied creamy texture, which leads seamlessly into the lingering finish.

This 2016 Estate Merlot has bright red berry aromas, cherry and raspberry, dried floral tones intertwined with hints of mocha, vanilla and cola. On the palate the wine is both relaxed and invigorating. There is a wonderful round mid-palate that is well-balanced on a beam of acidity. The framework of gentle tannins leads this wine into a lingering finish that is both full, yet bright. This elegant wine will age gracefully.

Taste the Burgundy of Oak Knoll. 

This is a dark, powerful wine, extracted from slowly and fully ripened fruit. On the nose the wine offers copious aromas of black cherry, blackberry, black licorice and raspberry with nicely integrated and lightly toasted spicy oak aromas and hints of vanilla. In the background there are hints of red pepper and spice which elevate and balance the aromas of this wine. On the palate, the wine is bold and well-extracted. It bursts onto the palate with a deeply layered texture and medium-grain tannins, followed by a lush mid-palate on a long lingering finish.
