Information about "Ernie Els The Big Easy Red 2022"
The Ernie Els The Big Easy Red 2022 is a beautifully crafted blend that offers an intoxicating bouquet of black cherries, spicy licorice, and hints of tobacco on the nose. On the palate, it reveals luxurious layers of cocoa, cinnamon, and tart Morello cherries, complemented by subtle peppery undertones that enhance its complexity. This wine is beautifully structured with a juicy core, leading to a graceful finish with a lingering chalky essence. A classic expression from Ernie Els Wines, it showcases the artistry of its maker.
This red classic from Ernie Els Wines matured for 14 months, with 80% aged in 300 L French oak barrels and 20% in 300 L American oak barrels. A small portion (5%) of the Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for eight months in concrete eggs.
