Country: New Zealand / Te Kahu Gimblett Gravels Vineyard Merlot-Cabernet Franc-Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Hawke’s Bay
Winery: Craggy Range /
This is firmly built for a wine that includes 69% Merlot. Mint and cedar notes emerge on the nose, while the flavors are black cherry and earth. This medium-bodied wine features an attractive licorice note on the finish, and should easily hold through 2020.
