Coleraine 2018, Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot, , Hawke’s Bay, Te Mata Estate

Saturated, dark ruby with a neon-purple edge, Coleraine ’17 tantalizes with fragrant ripe cherry and fresh, black plum aromatics. The bouquet blossoms over a silky palate laden with lavender, sandalwood, cigar box, juniper and wild blackberry. With typicallyrefined tannins and a modern, pure, ripe-fruit freshness, Coleraine ’17 is energetic, supple and lithe. Balanced, and on point, Coleraine ’17 dances across the senses now, and will do for years to come – classically Coleraine.

Coleraine ’16 is closed with a natural cork, allowing continued evolution in bottle for twelve years from harvest.
