Impenetrable in color, this Cabernet, from the renowned Gimblett Gravels soils of Hawke's Bay in the North Island, shows an iodine quality amidst stewed raspberries, currants, tangy sumac and earthy cumin spice. As it opens with swirling in glass, the sweet oak aromas makes their way to the fore. The palate shows quite a lot of extraction and oak, with grainy, grippy tannins and a long herbaceous finish. For a 2013, it shows little sign of mellowing any time soon.
