Craggy Range Sophia Merlot Cabernet Franc 2013
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
FIVE STARS | Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
98/100 | Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
96/100 | Huon Hooke, The Real Review
Sophia sits in Craggy's prestige range and is among the top examples of Hawke's Bay red wine. Vinted from a blend of carefully selected parcels of merlot (62%), cabernet sauvignon (19%) and cabernet franc (18%) from the Gimblett Gravels region, it's complex, dark and robust. An exceptional wine.

Tasting Notes
Bob Campbell MW writes "A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and petit verdot. Lifted aroma with pronounced plum and floral characters. A complex array of flavours on the palate including plum, dark berry, chocolate, spice and a hint of violet. Gorgeous wine with plenty of weight and a silken texture and real energy. Will be very long-lived."
The winery writes "Dark garnet colour. Beautifully lifted and complex aromas of spiced red fruits, crushed autumn leaves and sandalwood. Classically composed on the palate with fruit richness given length by balanced acidity and fine dusty tannins. Finishes elegant, dry and long."
