Mystery Waiheke Island Merlot Blend 2021
- French oak
- Blackberry pie
- Vanilla pod
- Velvety tannins
"Gorgeously complex and seductively fragrant with blackcurrant, floral, olive and cedar characters on the nose with a hint of tobacco nuance. The palate is equally impressive, delivering outstanding focus and drive, wonderfully complemented by refined texture and chalky tannins. Classically styled with layers of delectable flavours. At its best: now to 2036" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2023
"Fantastic bouquet loaded (pun intended) with chocolate, aromas of darks berry fruits and baking spices, baked nut, apple and blackberry pie crust, fresh blackberries and roasted plums. Youthful and complex. On the palate - an equally delicious wine with a firmness from tannins and acidity, plenty of dark fruit flavours at the core then chocolate and clove, vanilla pod and five spice. A touch of fresh tobacco and sweet clay earth layers in complexity and breadth. Open and pour a glass today with best drinking from 2026 through 2036" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2023
"Deep, purple with depth, slightly lighter on edge. The nose is voluminous and elegantly presented, with cassis, plum and raspberry aromas interweaved with tobacco, menthol, clove and nutmeg. Medium-full bodied, cassis, plum and raspberry have a bright core, entwined with tobacco, menthol, clove and nutmeg. Velvety, fine-grained tannin framework and lively acidity provide a backbone. This youthful Waiheke red blend shows good structure and vibrant red fruit with oak complexity, which will benefit from cellaring" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jan 2023
A compelling and juicy Merlot blend with the inky intensity of Malbec, savoury interest of Cab Franc and boldness of Petit Verdot. Firmly structured with ripe, succulent berry fruits, a dusting of cocoa & vanilla bean.
