Merlot wines are not often made in serious style in Hawkes Bay (most are blends) so for lovers of this mellow variety, this is a real treat.

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Chocolate, plum, and blackberry aromas of Merlot have combined with the aromatic spice of oak aging to produce a fruit-dominant yet complex wine. Soft, ripe tannins make this wine serious yet eminently drinkable."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, February 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Sweetly ripe and perfumed, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, rich floral, warm spice and roasted nut aromas, followed by a silky-smooth palate offering succulent fruit flavours with spicy nuances. Beautifully rounded and supple with a lengthy delectable finish. At its best: now to 2030."

93/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, April 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Intense, ripe merlot with rich plum, cassis, and cherry/berry flavours. High alcohol leaves a bit of heat on the finish. A crowd-pleasing winter red that is deliciously accessible now."

4 Stars Michael Cooper, February 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"The powerful, sturdy 2022 vintage is a blend of Merlot (86 per cent) and Cabernet Sauvignon (14 per cent), estate-grown in the Gimblett Gravels and partly barrel-aged. Softly seductive, it is full-coloured, weighty and sweet-fruited, with generous, ripe, plum and spice flavours, showing moderate complexity, gentle acidity and a smooth finish. Already enjoyable, it should be at its best 2025+."

4 Cuisine NZ Bordeaux Style Red, June 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Ripe and fragrant on the nose with a complex mix of dark berries, flowers, anise, nutmeg and chocolate all working together in perfect harmony. The palate is plump and fruit driven with silky smooth tannins, bright acid and a dry finish. "

92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"A very nice bouquet and palate driven by aromas and flavours of plums and blue fruits, some baking spice qualities of vanilla and cinnamon, and a light smoky wood frame. Dry on the palate with textures from moderate tannins, nicely ripe adding mouthfeel, medium+ acid line holds the fruit and tannins firmly in place. Well made, still developing and with a stony soils quality. Best drinking from end of 2024 through 2030."
