Alpha Domus's flagship Bordeaux blend knocks it out of the park again and, with the skyrocketing prices of the Hawke's Bay prestige labels, there is a strong argument to support 'Aviator' as the regions best value super premium red.
The 2019 is a richly weighted cabernet sauvignon dominant release with cabernet franc, merlot and malbec in support. It's a study in how the Bordeaux varietals perform in the Bridge Pa Triangle sub-region and showcases the areas dark fruit characters with lots of spicy oak and classic cabernet tobacco leaf characters on the palate. Seriously good.
