Zaria Merlot 2022, Hawke's Bay
A light red and ruby core lead to a bouquet and palate of red plums and boysenberry. There are moments of sweet violet and soft clay soil scents. Tannins are fine adding a lovely mouthfeel, acidity adds crunch and a youthful quality, then the fruit flavours return with a freshness and lift. A youthful wine still with a nice vibrato and palate weight. Best drinking from mid to late 2024 through 2029.
