About the wine:
Power and sophistication. Two of the more approachable and generous red varieties from Bordeaux, Merlot and Malbec are a match made in heaven - soft and juicy meets inky and robust. From the Gravels of Hawkes Bay, this blend of Merlot and Malbec delivers a matrimony of elegance and temptation.
 
Rich, black dark fruits and spice flavours of Merlot are met by violets, wild berries, game and from Malbec. This is an elegant wine with depth of flavour and an assertive yet warming structure. Packed with dark berry fruits, cocao and spice, the earth and cedar undertones add a layer of savoury complexity enhanced by balanced acidity.
 
A New World perspective on an Old-World tradition, this one is sure to satisfy the staunchest Bordeaux-philes.
