A high-end blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Sophisticated stuff: sweet cherry, plum and blackberry fruit nose with some spicy, subtly gravelly savoury notes. Very fine. The palate shows good concentration of plum and blackberry fruit with nice density. It&#8217;s structured and savoury with an attractive spiciness. A wine that&#8217;s no blockbuster, but it is showing potential for development &#8211; it&#8217;s the sort of wine that puts on weight with time in bottle, and this needs five or ten years to begin to show its best. 93\/100 (potentially more, with time)<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lest we forget that Hawkes Bay (and, more specifically, the Gimblett Gravels) is just about Syrah, here&#8217;s a serious Bordeaux blend from Craggy Range.
