Bohemian The Author Hawke's Bay Merlot 2022

Description

Blackberry, Coffee, Herbal

"Ruby-red, moderately deep, slightly lighter on the rim. The nose is elegantly full, with penetrating tobacco, dry herbs, plum, blackberry and graphite aromas. Medium-full bodied, aromas of plum and blackberry entwined with dry herbs, tobacco and nutmeg. The fruit is bright and succulent with a good balance; smooth tannin extraction contributes to tobacco and spice complexity, lingering with a soft texture. This Merlot is juicy and nicely structured with bright fruit, richness and a fine palate" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Mar 2023

"Light-bodied, with earthy clay, tobacco, spiced plum, truffle, and a hint of smokiness" Phil Parker, Apr 2023

The Author Merlot tells a riveting tale that will have you waiting for each sip like a captivating sequel. Deep dark crimson. Layers of plum and blackcurrant unfold like chapters on the nose with a wonderful earthen underscore of tree bark. Smooth plush and dense on the palate with notes of plum, violets, leather and coffee grounds.

They're a collection of like-minded wine lovers who came together - an amalgamation of all things great about wine. With crafty winemakers from all different corners of New Zealand chipping in, they get to express in their creations all the things they love - and in working like this, they believe their Bohemian Wines collection truly reflects what New Zealand's finest masters of craft want to express.
