Vidal of Hawke's Bay

Vidal of Hawke's Bay Reserve Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 Gimblett Gravels
Ripe, powerful, distinctive and youthful bouquet of Merlot with dark and fresh plum suggestions then an equally vibrant and distinctive aroma of Blackberry and dark berry fruits of Cabernet; fresh new oak with a toasty/cigar intensity. On the palate - ripe, vibrant and intense with flavours that reflect the nose, medium+ acidity and fine but plentiful tannins; youthful expressive and distinctive. 100% Hawke's Bay, very fine and well made with a long finish.
