From what was hailed as the red wine vintage of the century for Hawke’s Bay comes this silky, slinky, berry- and spice-saturated blend from fruit sourced from the Tantallon vineyard in Bridge Pa. The deep, iron-rich ‘red gravels’ inject depth and minerality to the fruit, and the wine shows vanilla, smoke, olive, and sweet cocoa characters. Super-fresh cedary oak, black fruits, and warming chocolate notes lead to peppery perkiness on the palate.
Sip with: neck chop stew and parsley dumplings.
