"Offering wonderful fruit purity and fragrance, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, sweet plum, thyme and toasted nut characters with a delightful violet overtone. It’s beautifully weighted and attractively composed, displaying lovely poise and balance backed by polished tannins, leading to a persistent silky finish. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2020
This delicious Hawke's Bay Cabernet Merlot displays flavours of ripe black plums and blackcurrant with a hint of vanilla pod. The palate is weighty with balanced acidity and a silky fine structure. Highlights of dark chocolate and a sweet tobacco character lift the palate to showcase silky tannins with great length. Drinking beautifully now this wine can be enjoyed young or with careful cellaring will mature over the next 5 years or beyond.
W5 Cabernet Merlot underwent malolactic fermentation while aging in a mix of new and older French oak. It was then gently extracted, blended and prepared for bottling.
Food Pairing: Matched perfectly with pan seared venison and wild rice salad.
