Country: New Zealand / Te Kahu Gimblett Gravels Vineyard Merlot-Cabernet Franc-Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Hawke’s Bay
Winery: Craggy Range /

The 2010 vintage of Te Kahu is 80% Merlot, with only single-digit percentages of the other varieties. It’s a darkly fruited wine, with notes of black cherry and blackberry that are impeccably clean and precise. Drink this silky-textured, medium-bodied wine over the next five years.
