I bought this at the winery at a tasting prior to lunch in 2019. Never seen this wine before or since - somewhat of a unicorn. An excellent yet unlikely blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Shiraz - unsure of the percentages but it works a treat. Aromas of black fruits, plum, pomegranate and dried tobacco. An experimental wine which is not produced annually. Grown on the Gimblett Gravels of Hawkes Bay. Finishes with chocolatey tannins. — 9 days ago

What I’m having is actually a new wine from them so may be first to review it, but they did a sulphite free merlot. It’s actually quite banging, has a real pointed red fruit chassis with those silky, sultry tannins and texture you want in merlot. It is electrically vibrant, and not at all a bad time for a solo camper — 5 years ago

Round fruit forward with cherry, red raspberry, and a touch of plum. Just when you think it’s gonna be a fruit bomb, it Fades into an acid and cocoa powder punch. Then the tannins wash over you. And it finishes with a nice Italian herbal kick w some oak. — 3 years ago

Totally love Gimblett Gravels Reds & this is one of them. Beautiful array of dark berry fruits, dark chocolate, a spec of bakery spices, a dash of savoury goodness and fresh silky tannins. — 5 years ago
