4.5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Upfront and inviting, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, sweet cherry, dried herb and toasted nut aromas, leading to a beautifully rounded palate offering juicy fruit flavours with fine texture and chalky tannins, finishing lingering and pleasingly dry. Sam Kim

17/20 Points - Candice Chow Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
"Deep, full, purple with a ruby-red core, lighter on edge. The nose is full and vibrant, with aromas of red berries, cassis, and blackberries melded with toasty oak spice. Full-bodied, aromas of strawberries, cassis and blackberries are enriched by a firm yet smooth tannin grip, followed by clove and nutmeg. The fruit is forward, supported by lively acidity; firm and grainy tannin provided a strong frame and mouthfeel. This approachable Cabernet Merlot blend shows the depth of fruit and compliments the tannin structure. Match with Wagyu burger and short ribs over the next 3-4 years. A blend of 62% Cabernet, 23% Merlot and 15% Malbec, aged in seasoned French oak barriques, underwent full MLF. 17/20 pts (85 pts) May 2022 RRP $20" Candice Chow

This is a classy Hawkes Bay Bordeaux blend which is we rarely come across at this price point. A blend of 62% Cabernet, 23% Merlot, 15% Malbec aged in French oak.
The wine shows aromas of cassis, black plum and a hint of coffee. A well structured palate rich and full of dark berried fruit, fine tannins and savoury dry finish.
