The youthful 2010 vintage (3.5*) is an estate-grown, single-vineyard Hawke’s Bay red, hand-picked in the Gimblett Gravels, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and matured for 15 months in American (55 per cent) and French (45 per cent) oak casks (67 per cent new). Full-coloured, fresh, vibrant, berryish and peppery, it has a hint of leafiness, but also some savoury, cedary complexity and a firm, lingering finish.
