A deeply coloured and concentrated wine blended from 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Black plum and licorice flavours are followed by dark chocolate and aromatic oak, with fine, soft tannins rounding out the finish. A rich and balanced wine that will reward cellaring for up to 8-10 years.

This is consistently one of New Zealand’s top red wines and this vintage is no exception. The wine is deeply coloured with aromatics hinting at black fruits and chocolate. The flavours are typical of Gimblett Gravel merlot blends, with fruitcake, plum, cherry, chocolate and oak spice all evident. Cellaring is recommended to soften the firm tannins, but the wine can equally be enjoyed in its youth.

"At this level I really start to look to compare to some of NZ's greatest ever Bordeaux style reds. We have reached yet another level of astonishing quality. Very dark ruby in the glass. The nose is quite restrained but does give up the sought after red currant and fruitcake notes. The palate is sensational with added power on the palate and super complexity. Blackberry and red currant palate, with underlying layers of mint at just the faintest volume, gives this jaw dropping quality. The texture is all velvet and the structure so finely boned and controlled. This wine is sensual and intellectual, extremely refined and graceful. Worth every cent. This wine will cellar for a decade or more but is so interesting now, it will be hard to resist". Craig Thomson, www.kiwiwinefanclub.co.nz.
