Whenever the team at Jackson Estate choose to release a Somerset, I get very excited. Having slept quietly in the bottle for the last few years, the 2013 is now ready to rock and it’s a beautiful thing. Sourced from old, gnarly vines growing in unirrigated, clay-stacked soils in the Waihopai Valley, the wine shines with rosehip tea, cherry and tamarillo aromas followed by concentrated dark fruits, hints of cocoa and luscious, enveloping, dried herb and savoury flavours. Stylish and sexy.
