Coopers Creek SV Gimblett Gravels Hawke’s Bay Cabernet Merlot 2013
Coopers Creek’s winemaker Simon Nunns is also a wine judge, educator, keen cyclist, true gentleman and all round renaissance type. His skill and knowledge of the Bordeaux varieties finds expression in this fresh cabernet blend. John Belsham thought it “well crafted”, which sums it up well: floral notes, cassis, redcurrant and liquorice characters, medium body, good presence and length, a robust tannin backbone.
