Hawkes Bay Premium Red Cellar 6 Pack

Te Mata Estate Coleraine 2023 - Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate writes "This cuvée is a selection of the best from each vintage. In 2023, the strongest performer was the cabernet sauvignon. The elevation in all aspects of this wine from the already tremendously impressive Awatea is significant. With raspberry, iodine, crushed shells, nori, pressed flowers, new lead pencil, tobacco, bramble and cassis, it is magnificent. I love this wine."

Radburnd Cellars Syrah 2020 - Cameron Douglas MS writes "A vibrant core of dark purples and reds with a pink-ish rim and some mild colour staining of the tears. Aromas of complexity and youth, dark plums and black raspberry, medium baking spice layers from barrel and soil, there’s an amazing amount of depth and purity with some licorice and spice layers, a whisper of red peppercorn spice and youthful enticing vibrato. Absolutely delicious on the palate, pure, ripe, fresh, youthful, taut, harmonious and new. Fruit flavours reflect the bouquet along with layers of barrel flavours and mineral. Tannins are ripe, polished, abundant and fine, acidity sets the back bone in place. A wine that drinks well after 2 days open, is excellent with food and will reward if cellared properly. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2030+."

Paritua 2112 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Franc 2021 - Cameron Douglas MS writes "A fantastic wine with concentration, complexity, power and presence. Flavours of dark berries, dark plums, cacao and toasty baking spices from wood and bottle settling harmony. A dry full-bodied wine with an equal amount of power and complexity framing the flavours of dark red berries and plums, cinnamon and vanilla, clove and baking spices. An abundance of tannins are polished and along with the acidity frame the fruit and mouthfeel perfectly."
