Mills Reef Reserve Merlot 2020, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay

Aromas of plums and boysenberry, clove and toasty barrel, dry stone earthy qualities and a sweet raw brown sugar note. Nice weight and richness on the palate with flavours that mirror plum and wild berries. There’s some toasty smoky barrel notes accentuated by acidity and wood tannins. Balanced and well made with a lengthy satisfyingly dry finish. Best drinking from 2022 through 2026+.
