Black Cottage Merlot Cabernet 2017, Hawkes Bay

Aromas of red berries and baked blackberry, tobacco, bell-pepper, plums and wood spices. Dry, spicy, toasty and fruity. Flavours mirror the nose, firm tannins and medium+ acidity. A core of red berries and spicy oak. Well made, youthful and lengthy. A food wine to allow the red berry and subtle complexity emerge. Medium rare Canterbury lamb with a rice and brown lentils. Best drinking from 2021 through 2025+
