Vibrant violet/red in colour. The nose exhibits charry, liquorice, plum and dark berry fruits which follow through on to the palate, encased in firm but fine tannins and spicy oak. All this results in an even fruit driven Hawkes Bay Merlot ready to drink or for the short term cellar.

FOOD MATCH: This wine is a perfect match with roast lamb and minted potatoes. CELLARING: This wine can be consumed young, however will continue to develop for another three years
