Soft plush Merlot with the black olive flavours of Cabernet Sauvignons impressive structure both add great balance to this powerful wine from Clearview Estate in Hawkes Bay. Flavours here are dark and brooding black olives, dried woody thyme with all its aromatic intensity, supported by the velvety smoothness of Malbec, which makes up a small portion of this wine.

This is a wine that drinks well now and can age to evolve even more impressive flavours for up to 10 years.
