“One brilliant fruit driven Merlot from the Hawkes Bay region of New Zealand. A gorgeous deep violet purple that demonstrates the intensity of the fruit in this wine. Deep sour cherries with ripe plum. Sweet fruit driven. Fresh, distinctive and fragrant. Balanced – still youthful and very delicious. A well rounded wine with a lovely aftertaste. Subtle smooth oak. Violets and earthy secondary hints. Drinking beautifully now. ”
