2008 Craggy Range Gimblett Gravels Vineyard Merlot
Craggy Range Vineyards, Gisborne & Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
This seamless, polished Merlot is a product of careful viticulture, a favourable vintage and impeccable winemaking. Plum and berry fruit flavours with a suggestion of wild herbs, new leather and classy, spicy oak. Good now but even better in a year or two. - Bob Campbell
