Heritage School is what used to be known as Harris Estate Wines. David and Linda Jenkins purchased the property in 2014 and renamed the winery and the three vineyards on the property. Thomas Rivers Brown is the winemaker. I was able to taste a couple of these wines and both were excellent. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose has black cherries, cassis and baking spice. Maybe a touch of soy sauce. On the palate, this has a pretty texture. Cassis and black cherries over an interesting chalky base along with some baking spices. Good balance. Firm tannins. Nice finish. This will need six to eight years to get close to peak and should have ten to fifteen after that. It drinks well on its own and will work with heavier foods.
