Ara Rangi 'Celebre' 2014 Martinborough
Merlot/Syrah/Cabernet Sauvignon - 3 part harmony offering aromas of ripe, spicy and juicy red berry fruits, baked raspberry black currant with plum and chocolate moments; no mistaking the layer of oak with its bacon and clove-like oak nuances; complex, familiar and engaging. On the palate - the harmony continues with flavours that reflect the bouquet; plenty of acidity, tannin and peppery fruits, a softer core mid-palate and lengthy finish. Deliberately more texture from the tannins and acidity to assit in the ageing process which this wine must complete. Enjoy from 2018 through 2028.
