Matua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot 2001

Hawkes Bay, North Island, New ZealandCool herbal spicy green olive leafy compost nose. Similar green fruit flavours which are surprising for the warmer Hawkes Bay region. Soft and round on entry and acidic but is it St. Émilion or is it Kiwi. We were hoping for more warmth and generous fruit.Tasted: 01 March 2004Tasted by: Prices:
