Winemaker ’s Comments - This is a full-bodied and rich Hawke's Bay wine. It possesses a very deep colour, and a bouquet of plums, red fruits, dried herbs and hints of oak. The palate is concentrated and well fruited with a firm palate structure providing ageing potential. Can be enjoyed as a young wine or cellared for up to 5 years with confidence. This wine is an ideal match to meals based around red meats and is also lovely with hard cheeses.
