The Hunting Lodge Tennessee Red Merlot Malbec 2021, Hawke's Bay

Aromas of boysenberry and plum, milk chocolate and velvet cake. Aromas of baking spices from oak and a dried clay soil quality. Youthful, ripe and moderately concentrated bouquet overall. Lovely smooth satin texture touches the palate first with a core of red berry fruit flavours to follow. Fine tannins and medium+ acid line layer in complexity and mouthfeel. A well made wine with a plushness and generosity, well suited to food and on its own drinking. Best imbibing from 2023 through 2028.
