Note di degustazione
The 2015 Awatea Cabernets Merlot is autumnal in its character, with shavings of metal and leather, licorice and mahogany cupboard. It has roses and cassis, blood plum and bramble. A reticent wine, it's composed and elegant.

Violet, bay leaf, black fruit, almost liquorice, mocha, baking spices and cedar. Medium bodied, black fruit laced with liquorice and tobacco, a fleshy mass of tannin and dark chocolate, cool clean acidity, and very long fi nish, all black tea and perfume in the aftertaste. Chewy satisfaction and a little fl amboyance in every mouthful. Love this. Mar 2017, www.winefront.com.au
Bell-clear, pristine, beautifully made and fresh as a daisy. Very elegant and finely textured. Mar 2017, www.huonhooke.com
This beautifully detailed and composed wine displays dark berry, plum, cigar box and floral characters with subtle mixed spice notes. The palate is beautifully supple and ripe, and offers gorgeous fruit intensity together with subtle oak undertones and spicy complexity, brilliantly supported by polished tannins. The wine is proper and refined, yet approachable and friendly at the same time. 2015 Awatea is a blend of 46% cabernet sauvignon, 43% merlot and 11% cabernet franc.
