Paritua Stone Paddock Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Hawkes Bay

Intense, precise, varietal and powerful bouquet of cabernet with aromas of dark plum, black blackberry, tobacco and hay, roasted bell-pepper and earthy stone, clay and rocky earthy complexities. Bold, fruity, firm and dry on the palate with a core of fruit flavours that reflect the nose, plenty of tannins to add texture, complexity and mouthfeel. Acidity adds contrast to the core of fruit and length. Very young, but entirely drinkable today and through 2028+.
