Puriri Hills reserve, Vintage 2002
THE REVIEWS
“Grown at Clevedon, in South Auckland, the very stylish 2002 vintage is a blend of Merlot (50%), Cabernet Franc (42%) and Malbec (8%), matured for 21 months in French oak barriques (75 percent new). Densely coloured and highly fragrant, it has a lovely mouthfeel and texture, with an array of plum, spice, herb, leather and chocolate flavours, good supporting tannins and excellent harmony. It’s a sensuous red, savoury and silky.” Michael Cooper
