Hawke’s Bay Merlot 2010

 

WINEMAKERS NOTE

Intense deep ruby colour, this wine oozes attractiveness. Spicy aroma loaded with black cherries and ripe plum characters.

Bold and welcoming Black Doris plums introduce a rich and spicy mid-palate with soft rounded tannins and a long mocha liquorice finish.

VINTAGE SUMMARY

2010 was overall a classic vintage typified by a temperate season and followed by a brilliant Indian Summer, allowing us to produce deeply coloured and intensely flavoured Merlot with minimal intervention.
