Saint Clair Pioneer Block 17 Plateau Cabernet Merlot 2021

Overview:

Saint Clair Pioneer Block 17 Plateau Cabernet Merlot is a bold and refined Hawke’s Bay expression, sourced from the renowned Gimblett Gravels. Deeply coloured with a ruby core, it unveils layers of dark fruit, tobacco flower and new leather on the nose. The palate is powerful yet sophisticated, offering richness, weight and a luscious chocolate-like texture balanced by fine tannins and a long toasty finish.

Tasting Notes:

Intense aromas of blackcurrant, plum and tobacco are lifted by floral nuances and subtle cedar spice. Full-bodied and weighty on the palate, the wine delivers ripe black fruit, dark chocolate and warming spice with a silky tannin structure. Complex, concentrated and elegant, the finish is long, savoury and toasty.
