Pegasus Bay Merlot Cabernet 2019, Waipara Valley

Dark ruby red at the core with a light-ish red pink showing at the rim. Aromas of ripe dark red berry fruits along with an unfiltered and baking spice complexity. There’s also a crushed rock almost silty mineral complexity as well. On the palate - flavours of dark red fruits soaked in baking spices, there’s a cinnamon and toasty barrel complexity as well. Ripe tannins are in abundance contrasted with a core of fruit flavours of plum and blackberry as well as acidity for balance and contrast. Dry on the finish, balanced and well made. A wine with concentration that can be enjoyed from today or cellared through end of 2022. Best window to drink should be from early 2023 through 2029+.
