Hickinbotham The Revivalist Merlot 2020

The growing season was affected by a very hot spring, leading to the lowest yields on Hickinbotham's record. When the grapes started their ripening process in January, the weather miraculously cooled to a very mild ripening season. This resulted in wonderful concentration of flavor, retention of natural acidity and brightness of fruit, delivering wines with beautiful finesse and balanced tannins. The 2020 Revivalist shows ripe plum, vanilla, olive paste, toast, with integrated tannins supporting huckleberry, orange rind, spice and a lush finish on the palate.

Blend: 89% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, less than 1% Malbec & Cabernet Franc
