Obsidian Cabernet Merlot 1999
Deeply coloured, dark ruby rim intensifying to a deep blood-red centre. The very ripe nose includes aromas of cassis, chocolate, vanilla and toasty oak with coffee hints. Soft tannins and sweet fruit combine with palate weight to provide a lengthy finish. This is a rich and full- bodied wine that will develop very well over a number of years.
Te Awa Merlot 2004
A blend of 86 % Merlot, 6% Malbec, 5 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc. Late summer rains followed a cooler than average summer in the 2003/2004 growing season. However March and April were dry and warm giving an excellent finish to the season. This allowed our grapes to ripen fully and develop a complex flavour profile and mature tannins. Picking of the red varieties started late March and finished late April. These grapes are all grown on the certified Gimblett Gravels.
