These are wines that provide focus and clarity on Marlborough's fast-emerging sub-regions. Certainly regional and sometimes vineyard-specific, these wines highlight the attributes of individual sites and districts and their ensuing characteristics in the finished wines. Colour/Appearance: Bright crimson. Aroma/Bouquet: Cherries and ripe brambly fruits, with a light savoury and earthy background. Palate: Soft, full and fruity, with ripe cherry/berry flavours, some defining oak tannin structure and a generous weight. Cellaring: Will reward careful cellaring, through the development of bottle age complexities. However, the wine is already drinking well, and should be at peak by early 2015. Suggested Foods: A great match with asian and wild duck, rare lamb and venison, char-grilled chicken or tuna. Serve: Cool room temperature.
