Tasting Notes: Ruby hue with purple edge to the eye. Lifted berry and cassis, subtle oak spice aromas. Elegant fruit, fine tannin texture with soft acidity to taste.
About Blackbarn Vineyards: Eight hectares of Hawkes Bay vineyards situated in one of the oldest grape-growing areas in New Zealand produce all of the winery's fruit. About 65 to 70 per cent of the production is red wine in the Bordeaux varieties, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
