Elephant Hill 'Stone' Gimblett Gravels Merlot Malbec Cabernet Franc 2021, Hawke's Bay

A very enticing bouquet with a smoky dark fruited aromas package. Layers of chocolate and wood smoke, dark plums and blackberries. Dry and firm as the wine touches the palate, the salivation from tannins and acidity ignite the fruits of plum and boysenberry then wood smoke and dark spices plus a little bitter chocolate and chefs’ jus earthy flavours. Delicious and lengthy with best drinking from day of purchase through 2030.
