Pegasus bay merlot cabernet

Country: New Zealand, Waipara Valley

Tasting Notes: On release it has a deep crimson tint.  A sensuous amalgam of dark fruit, wood smoke and spice rise temptingly from the glass.  Impressions of bramble, cherry and plum first on attack, followed by a flotilla of roasted red pepper, aniseed, tobacco leaf, leather, and mint.  The mouthfeel is impressively concentrated, with confident tannins and radiant acidity weaving across a wide, succulent palate.  Brawny and classically structured, the voyage ends with a sustained and spice laden finish.  While ready to drink now, this wine will reward careful cellaring for many years to come.
