Redmetal have long been one of our favourite Hawke's Bay producers and over the years we seen a monster following develop for their graceful red wines. This merlot dominant blend has always been a best seller from their range and the 2021 is another excellent release - in our view it is the best MCF we have seen from Redmetal to date - and a label update adds another layer of class to this much-loved wine.
In true Redmetal style, this is a softly generous blend that clearly over-delivers on this price point. A bit of magic from the excellent 2021 growing season adds an extra touch of plushness, but the style remains middleweight in the classical sense.
This is serious, thoughtful wine at a sensible price - a soft, approachable and food-friendly release from celebrated owner / winemaker Grant Edmonds.
Tasting note
Dark crimson, with black plum and ripe berryfruit flavours along with a touch of oak and soft tannins. A blend of 89% Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Syrah for lifted floral aromatics. Soft tannins with food friendly flavours and our trademark drinkability along with the weight and structure to cellar for 5-8 years if you can hold out that long.
