Babich Winemakers Reserve Merlot Single Vineyard 2020, Hawkes Bay

Earthy, bright and fresh and a core of dark plums and toasty barrel spices. There’s complexity and charm, a wine still very much in its youth with a bold freshness and a stony mineral quality. Very taut and dry as the wine touches the palate, tannins and still settling in while the acidity remains the backbone carrying flavours of dark plums and boysenberry fruit flavours across the palate. Plenty of baking spice highlights and youthful energy. Well made and ready from drinking from 2026 through 2034+.
