Oak Estate Hawke’s Bay Merlot 2015 $23 (4.5 stars)

10 March 2018By Yvonne
Oak Estate Hawke’s Bay Merlot 2015 $23 (4.5 stars)Yvonne2018-03-10T20:18:59+13:00

Scented with boysenberry, bay leaf, blueberries, pepper and leather, there’s also a lick of vanilla which wraps itself around big, muscular, pumping tannins, making this a definite new favourite in my house! Dry, yet curvy and complex, it’s a merlot with excellent concentration and sippability. Try it before it disappears!
