We are not allowed to divulge the name of the producer online, but this premium cabernets merlot sits at the upper echelon of Hawke's Bay red winemaking, and was definitely not produced to sell at this price point.
This is the Real McCoy - a top-drawer Hawke's Bay Cabernets Merlot that delivers complexity and generosity worlds beyond this humble price point. No expense was spared in the vineyards or winery to create this wine. As a late ripening varietal cabernet sauvignon performed especially well in 2023 and forms the mainstay of this robust blend, while cabernet franc adds rounded mouthfeel and soft mocha characters. Merlot brings layers of dark plum and supple palate flow, while gentle tannins and touches of oak spice close out the conversation.
It's juicy, rounded and bright. It's instantly rewarding. And it will continue to blossom in your cellar over the coming 4+ years, should you choose to lay some down.
Tasting note
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: "The wine offers excellent fruit purity with stylish complexity, showing Black Doris plum, sweet cherry, fennel, fine oak, and floral aromas. The palate displays succulent fruit intensity and a fleshy texture, well supported by beautifully infused tannins, making it splendidly harmonious and balanced with a sustained, refined finish. At its best: now to 2030."
