This flavoursome Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon has been crafted from a premium parcel of predominantly Gisborne grapes, sourced by our Huntaway Reserve winemaker. The result is an elegant, approachable wine. Clear and deep violet red with a rich and complex bouquet showing lifted berry fruit, cassis, plum and fruit cake aromas and integrated toasty oak characters showing hints of vanilla and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied with ripe plum and blackcurrant fruit and integrated charry oak, this wine displays exceptional length of flavour with ripe, savoury fruit and oak tannin. Fabulous with Gisborne Angus Pure Beef, this wine is lovely to drink now but will benefit from further bottle development by careful cellaring for up to eight years.
