Snapper Rock Hawke’s Bay Merlot Cabernet 2013 $16.95 ★★★★
Well I for one did a little dance after tasting this wine because not only is it bright and berry-stacked on the nose, but it’s loaded with plum, boysenberry and attractive vanilla, spice and smoky notes on the palate. It’s a warm, cuddly, silky and slippery and velvety to drink. AND I can’t believe the price. Crazy-good value for money here. For stockists visit www.snapperrockwines.co.nz
