Last few case. Recommended retail is $40- 2nd place and 5 stars in Cuisine, 96/100 in Bob Campbells NZ Bordeaux- Style Tasting in Gourmet Traveller Magazine beating such wines as Sacred Hill Helsman at $65, Babich Patriarch @ $60 and CJ Pask Declaration @50. "A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and malbec. Paritua is a mid-sized winery established by two Americans who want to make great wine and appeared to have the resources to achieve that goal .The property is situated in the Ngatarawa triangle area of Hawkes Bay. Roasted coffee-ish nose with an intriguing lifted, smoky character. Dense red with sweet, ripe, berryish fruit flavours that linger tantalising on the finish. Very serious red with obvious cellaring potential but still quite accessible now." Bob Campbell. "...perfectly balances the softness with power- a classic "iron fist in a velvet glove". Concentrated blackcurrantcharacter, toasty, cedary oak, smooth texture and a toasty, cedary oak, smooth texture and a solid backbone give it near-faultless appeal." Cusine.
