This is a stunning example of elite Hawke's Bay Merlot Cabernets from the Elephant Hill team. The Reserves are a special barrel selection that sit between the Estate series and Elephant Hill's super-premium Icons range- and are only released when the conditions are absolutely perfect.

The 2018 vintage saw consistently warmer days, allowing for exceptionally high-quality fruit. Elephant Hill are inherently synonymous with delivering complexity and elegance, and this is no exception. Made from 86% merlot, 9% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc, the 2018 reserve release displays enticing notes of tobacco, warm spice amongst a sumptuous, refined palate.

Now six years on from harvest, this sublime, bottle-aged blend is right in the zone and drinking beautifully - but this wine will also reward a few more years in the cellar.
