FIVE STARS 94/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Excellent weight, plump mouthfeel and layers of fine tannins"
Zaria are a boutique Hawke's Bay producer with winemaker Bryce Edmonds at the helm. The majority of the fruit for their wines come off their Bridge Pa site, Lesley's Vineyard, and Bryce takes a minimal intervention approach to winemaking.
This is ripe and plush merlot / cabernet franc blend with broody flavours of plum and chocolate backed up by delicious spice. A stunning match for BBQ meats.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "It's splendidly fruited with complexity, showing blackcurrant, blueberry, tobacco, fennel, and toasted almond characters on the nose. The palate displays excellent weight, a plump mouthfeel, and layers of fine tannins, making it beautifully structured and persistent, with a robust finish."
The winery writes "Blackberries, boysenberries and black doris plums are present on the nose, along with dark chocolate, espresso and black licorice. Velvety tannins coat the mouth providing structure that carries the fruit through to a long satisfying finish."
