First Flight Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2020, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay

Ripe, fruity and varietal core with aromas of black currant and dark plum, spicy tobacco and smoky oak, baking spices and toasty barrel scents. Bold and expressive on the palate, equally ripe, very youthful with tannins and acidity chomping through my saliva then easing off the reveal core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. A lovely wine ready for cheese and red meats, pastas and vegan food. Best drinking from mid to late 2022 through 2027+.
