Clearview Estate 'Cape Kidnapper' Merlot 2016 Hawkes Bay

Bold and rich bouquet - both fruit and oak competing for attention - a mix of dark plums and black fruits, toasty oak with a core of power and energy. On the palate - firm, dry, youthful and and packed with dark fruit flavours. Firm youthful tannins, medium acidity, no mistaking the oak, lengthy bold finish. A great wine to share against a backdrop of fine New Zealand herb crusted MR lamb cutlets and duck fat fries. Drink now and through 2022.
