Tasting Notes

The winery writes "Harvested from the Hawke's Bay region, Music Bay Merlot Cabernet resounds with notes of black currant and dark berries which work in unison with its soft gentle tannins and fruity acidity. The perfect duet with red meats or hearty casserole in front of a roaring fire."

Sam Kim writes "Bright and attractively fruited, the wine shows Black Doris plum, ripe strawberry, floral and subtle spice notes on the nose, followed by a supple palate offering succulent fruit intensity together with fine texture and silky tannins, making it friendly and easy to enjoy."
