Puriri Hills Estate, Vintage 2014
THE REVIEWS
95 Points - 5 Stars “A Merlot-dominant blend with cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and carménère. Elegant, spicy red with dark berry, malt, liquorice, vanilla, brambles, spice and toasty oak flavours. A seamless, supple wine that's certainly accessible now but should continue to deliver pleasure for many years yet.” – Bob Campbell ONZM MW
5 Stars “Estate-grown at Clevedon, in South Auckland, this is a classy, Merlot-based red. Still youthful, the very refined and harmonious 2014 vintage (5*) is a blend of Merlot (77 per cent), Cabernet Sauvignon (13 per cent), Cabernet Franc (7 per cent) and Malbec (3 per cent). Deeply coloured, it is a sweet-fruited, medium to full-bodied red, with concentrated, ripe blackcurrant, plum, herb and spice flavours, finely integrated oak, supple tannins, and obvious cellaring potential.” - Michael Cooper
