Villa Maria Reserve Hawke's Bay Merlot 2013

Tasting: NZ Recent Release - March/April 2015

Region: Hawke's Bay

Year: 2013

Review/Comments
Bold, youthful hue. Refined and rich, with beautifully ripe blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, supple tannins, savoury, earthy, nutty notes adding complexity, and excellent harmony. Classy, classic young merlot, likely to be long-lived.
