Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot, Coleraine, 2018, Hawke’s Bay, Te Mata Estate

Saturated, dark ruby with a neon-purple edge, Coleraine ’18 tantalizes with fragrant ripe cherry and fresh, black plum aromatics. The bouquet blossoms over a silky palate laden with lavender, sandalwood, cigar box, juniper and wild blackberry. With typicallyrefined tannins and a modern, pure, ripe-fruit freshness, Coleraine ’18 is energetic, supple and lithe. Balanced, and on point, Coleraine ’18 dances across the senses now, and will do for years to come – classically Coleraine.

Coleraine is closed with a natural cork, allowing continued evolution in bottle.
