- Mocha & tobacco
- Smoke
- Fine integrated tannins
"Attractively fruited and nicely lifted, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, blueberry, mixed spice, thyme and toasted almond characters. The palate is succulent and plump with silky mouthfeel and fine-grained tannins, finishing lingering and juicy. A well-rounded red with lovely balance and harmony" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019
Aromas of spiced plum and cassis with dried tobacco, mocha and smoky notes. A plush and generous palate where the red and black fruits are framed by fine integrated tannins.
A red blend of 78.5% Merlot and 21.5% Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Hawkes Bay.
A good spring and a hot dry summer gave the vines a good start to the ripening season before some unsettled weather arrived in autumn. The free draining soils of the Omahu gravels performed remarkably well in 2017. Merlot was picked ripe and early, and the thick-skinned Cabernet Sauvignon was able to sit through the rain events and was picked later in the season.
