Redmetal Merlot Cabernet Franc 2020

ONE OF THE GREAT HAWKE'S BAY RED BUYS.

Redmetal have long been one of our favourite Hawke's Bay producers and over the years we have developed a monster following for their graceful red wines. This merlot dominant blend has always been our best seller from their range and the 2020 is another excellent release - in our view it is the best MCF we have seen from Redmetal to date -  and a label update adds another layer of class to this much-loved wine. 

In true Redmetal style, this is a softly generous blend that clearly over-delivers on this price point. A bit of magic from the excellent 2020 growing season adds an extra touch of plushness, but the style remains middleweight in the classical sense.

This is serious, thoughtful wine at a sensible price - a soft, approachable and food-friendly release from celebrated owner / winemaker Grant Edmonds. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
