The 2013 vintage (4*), a blend of Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc, was hand-picked at Havelock North and matured for 16 months in French oak barriques. Full-coloured, it has strong, youthful blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, showing good complexity, and obvious cellaring potential; best drinking 2017+.
