[SOLD-OUT] Craggy Range Gimblett Gravels Te Kahu Merlot Blend 2018

JAMES SUCKLING 94 POINTS!

 

A winning blend of Merlot, Cabernet, Malbec, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot. Refined, classic and offering great value at this price.

"This has a very rich plum nose with mulberry and well-integrated, spicy French-oak character. The palate has such well-judged balance and even shape. Super fresh and vibrant red plums and mulberries abound. The tannins are so smooth and layered. A thoroughly respectable Kiwi claret! " - James Suckling   

"Fresh and focused with a lovely gravelly edge to the lovely expressive red and black fruits. Its really assured and harmonious with mid weight fruit working in harmony with the structure."Jamie Goode

"Sophisticated, with touches of black walnut liqueur, kirsch and spicy tobacco. Cardamom, blueberry and cedar notes linger, with dense, toothsome tannins. Fragrant and balanced on the finish." - Wine Spectator

"54% Merlot, 27 %Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. Deepest crimson red. Brooding aromatically with notes of cassis, black olive, dried tobacco and the faintest hint of caramel. The wine has a lovely focus on the palate with dark fruits framed by fine tannins to deliver a classical structure with an excellent future ahead." - Craggy Range
