Matua Valley Single Vineyard Matheson Hawke’s Bay Merlot 2009
A flavoursome red to pair with a red-wine-sauced beef dish, this excellent merlot offers juicy blackberry aromas, notable mocha-cedar oak, and milk-chocolatey richness on the inviting nose. Ageing superbly with a seamless, ripe and vibrant palate, and a finish framed in firm, savoury tannins.
