title: Nickel & Nickel 2007 Harris Vineyard Merlot (Oakville)
description: Raspingly dry and fierce in tannins, this Merlot is quite different from other Bordeaux-style red wines from Oakville that are ripe and lush. Doesn't offer much reward now due to the astringency, but has a solid core of blackberries. Hard to know if the fruit will outlast the tannins.
variety: Merlot
designation: Harris Vineyard
