Super premium, limited edition, 2021 Gimblett Gravels Merlot from one of the regions founding producers. Blessed with exceptional fruit from special Squawking Magpie blocks and the great 2021 Hawke's Bay vintage playing its part, it's vinted in the powerful and weighty style with firm tannins and fleshy fruit flavours acting in harmony. All bottles individually numbered.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "A bouquet of complexity, power and muscle with scents of roasted plums and baking spices, smoky leesy layers, violets, five spices and dark clay soils. Plenty of weight and power on the palate too with warmth and generosity of fruit, dark berries and plum, five spice with a touch of charred wood. Firm tannins and acidity ensure a sounds structure frames the fleshy fruit flavours. Youthful with a lengthy and exciting finish."
Bob Campbell MW writes "Intense, fine-grained red with blackberry, cassis, black doris plum, cacao powder, new leather and cedar wood. Density and structure suggests an ability to age well. Excellent value at this price."
