Villa Maria Earth Garden Merlot Cabernet 2019, Hawkes Bay

Dark plum and fresh blackberries, clove and vanilla with a smooth toasty barrel complexity. Fresh, youthful, fruity and enticing. On the palate - a core of dark berry flavours that reflect the nose, plus a cassis and marmite, a clay and stony soil layer then a moments of red flowers and toasty barrel spices. fine chalky tannins with a dusty textured edge, plenty of acidity and a satin textured mouthfeel through to the finish. Balanced and well made, ready to drink upon purchase and through 2024.
