2017 Awatea Cabernet-Merlot, Te Mata Estate, Hawkes Bay
Product: HK662B
Description
Ink-dark crimson, Awatea Cabernets/Merlot E7 glimmers with bright raspberry, cherry and blackberry sparkling over mocha, cedar and spice. Always a favourite expression of fine Hawke’s Bay cabernet, Awatea from 2017 is refreshing and moreish as well as typically elegant. Aromas of red and dark berry fruit, flashes of boysenberry and espresso on the palate, and a classical, super-fine, tannin structure running through to its long finish make Awatea Cabernets/Merlot E7 a true star.
