A rare beast indeed, this Bordeaux style blend - from New Zealand! 55% Cab Sauv, 26% Merlot, 11% Cab Franc, 6%Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot - it's quite a crowded field.
Nonetheless, this is a great wine and '07 is just about ready for drinking.
Cedar wood and forest fruits on the nose; with a strong red fruit palette followed by wood and herbs and a long, consistent finish.
An absolute treat for Sunday roast, or a rainy Sunday afternoon!
