Clearview Estate

Clearview Estate 'Enigma' 2016 Hawkes Bay

This Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet led blend has both an elegant and powerful bouquet showing off the ripe core of fruit as well as the bold and expressive use of site, oak and wine-making skill. With a slightly salty edge the aromas include crushed and poached plum, wild blackberry, violet and toasty wood with dark clove and other spice moments. On the palate - firm, highly structured, youthful and dry; the power of the fruit, oak and site are brought together by a skillful and measured approach to wine-making. Decant for service with best drinking from late 2019 through 2029.
