Moana Park Estate Merlot Cabernet Franc 2019, Gimblett Road, Hawkes Bay
Aromas of plums and dark berries, violets and toasty wood baking spices of clove and baked vanilla. Richly scented, varietal and enticing. On the palate - ripe, fruity, varietal and loaded with flavours of darks and baking spices, toasty vanilla wood and violets. Youthful with plenty of tannin and acidity to match. A wine that needs time to develop and relax. Decant for service or wait till 2022 then enjoy through 2030. Needs time.
