Blended Red from New Zealand - Hawke's Bay
Review Date : 24-Mar-2025
Deep ruby-red, even colour throughout. The nose is rich, with aromas of cassis, plum, blackberry, toasty spice and cedar. Full-bodied, aromas of cassis, blackberry and plum melded with clove, star anise and toasty oak elements. Lively acidity binds the juicy fruit, and toasty oak enriches and leaves a firm tannin grip. Match with steak over the next 2-3 years. Fermented to 13% alc. 16.5/20 pts (83 pts) Mar 2025 RRP $25
