Mills Reef Reserve Merlot 2021
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
Sitting between the Estate and Elspeth ranges, the Mills Reef Reserve range offers wines that punch well above their weight in terms of flavour and value.
From the sensational 2021 vintage, this reserve merlot is inherently full-bodied and succulent. Classic characters of plums and blackcurrant fruits sit amongst a velvety, textured framework.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "A classic bouquet of roasted doris plums and blackcurrant fruits, toasty barrel spices of French oak and an earthy dry stone and gravels core. Youthful, enticing and nicely complex. Dry on the palate with plenty of weight and intensity, flavours of dark cherry and baked plums, some clove and toasty vanilla oak qualities and a gravelly soil complexity. Frim tannins and acidity layer in mouthfeel and power leading to a lengthy and persistent finish."
The winery writes "This full-bodied Merlot sourced from the esteemed Gimblet Gravels is opulent with violets, blackberry and boysenberry fruits with dark chocolate and toasty oak notes. Velvety textured, succulent and with a hint of leather."
