Puriri Hills Estate, Vintage 2008
THE REVIEWS
96 points “Strong sweet berry fruit provide the core with subtle spice and hints of savory characters. Has the classic texture of this producer with an appealing maraschino cherry character on the finish.” Bob Campbell ONZM MW
4.5 Stars “Estate-grown at Clevedon, in South Auckland, this is a stylish, Merlot-based blend. The 2008 vintage was matured for two years in French oak barriques (40 per cent new). Deeply coloured, it is full-bodied, with a spicy bouquet and an array of blackcurrant, plum, herb, spice and nut flavours, showing excellent depth and complexity.” Michael Cooper
