CLASSIC HAWKE'S BAY RED

95/100 'Outstanding' | Cameron Douglas MS

The Navigator is a stylish Hawke’s Bay blend that has charted our way, a wine with a strong character and a strong following. Alongside Te Mata Estate's 'Awatea', 'The Navigator' is widely regarded as a benchmark Hawke's Bay release in this price bracket. Always sterling value, the 2020 has a generosity and concentration that defies this price point. Highly recommended.

Merlot dominant with cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and malbec completing the blend, it shows an amalgam of red and black fruits on the nose, with hints of anise and tobacco adding a spicy touch. The palate is medium-bodied and softly expressed - with slinky tannins and creamy acidity bringing things to a very rewarding close. Only now entering its ideal drinking window, this well-made wine would be a fine partner for roasted meats and vegetables. Tuck in.

Tasting Notes

The 2020 is a blend of merlot 36%, cabernet franc 33%, cabernet sauvignon 18% and malbec 13%.
The winery writes "Softly concentrated with deep and dense aromas of plush red fruits, cocoa, spice and cedar, the palate is medium-full bodied with rich and succulent flavours. The long finish and fine tannins make this an ideal accompaniment for your beef dishes, richly flavoured foods and cheeses."
