The 2013 vintage (4*) was estate-grown on the stonier, less clay-bound soils at Clos Henri, in the Wairau Valley, and matured in large oak vats (40 per cent) and old French barrels (60 per cent). Deep and youthful in colour, it is mouthfilling, with generous cherry, plum and nut flavours, an earthy streak, ripe, supple tannins, and good harmony. An age-worthy red, it should be at its best 2016+. Certified organic.
