Puriri Hills Estate 2022 750ml

95 Points – Bob Campbell ONZM MW:"Seductive wine that gives a nod in the direction of Bordeaux"

2022 provided good growing conditions, the vintage was characterised by warm temperatures and moderate rainfall. Early summer was wet, though conditions dried out post veraison and remained warm and dry through harvest. Yield for the vintage was above average with ~15 tones picked.

Blend: 40% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 14% Malbec, 13% Carmenère, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon.

TASTING NOTES
Nose: Rich red and dark berries (cassis, plum, blackberry), entwined with spice, dried herbs, cedar, floral violet notes, and subtle earthy/hedgerow nuances. 
Palate: Medium to full-bodied, polished tannins, silky texture, framing concentrated dark fruit with cedar and savoury accents; finishes lingering with spice and nutty oak. 

Alc: 13.8%
