Matua Wines SV Merlot 2013 Hawke's Bay
Ripe, clean and calm aromas of dark plum and darker berry fruits, some sweet vanilla and oak spice layers, toasty and fresh. On the palate - dry, firm and fruity with dusty fine tannins, medium+ acidity and loaded with oak and dark fruit flavours. A fine longer finish with a gravelly soil texture and plum fruits flavours.
