Quarter Acre Merlot Malbec 2011

Quarter Acre Merlot Malbec 2011

Respected Hawke’s Bay winemaker Rod McDonald has created this excellent 2011 single-vineyard merlot-malbec blend.  Cassis and plummy merlot aromas have a herbal overtone and a notable dressing of cedary oak. Medium in body, it has attractive richness mid-palate and a sustained, fine tannin finish.
