This Merlot is a prime example of the style produced from the stony soils of Hawke’s Bay. Deep ruby red in colour, ripe plum aroma’s with vanilla, and cedar notes from the oak. The palate is plush and velvety and shows dark fruits dominated by red plum and baking spice, supported by fleshy tannins. The oak influence is subtle and provides structure and a light vanilla lift to the aroma.
