Saint Clair James Sinclair Gimblett Gravels Hawke's Bay Cabernet/Merlot (2018)

Enjoyable young, the 2018 vintage (3.5*) is a deeply coloured blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (59 per cent) and Merlot (41 per cent), matured in tanks and French oak barrels (partly new). It has a fresh, vibrantly fruity bouquet, leading into a full-bodied wine with very good depth of blackcurrant and red-berry flavours, ripe and smooth.
