Overview:
Cable Bay Vineyards Five Hills 2020 is a bold and complex blend that captures the rugged character of Waiheke Island. This wine unites dark fruit intensity with refined savoury depth, showcasing layers of blackberry, plum, and spice woven with earthy minerality. Structured yet elegant, it embodies both power and finesse, designed to reward cellaring and evolve gracefully over time.
Tasting Notes:
Fragrant aromas of crushed blackberry, Doris plum, and milk chocolate are lifted by subtle notes of dried herbs, new leather, and toasty oak spice. The palate is rich and beautifully shaped, supported by firm yet polished tannins and a mineral texture reminiscent of volcanic rock and clay. Natural acidity, driven by Malbec, provides freshness, direction, and impressive length. Best enjoyed with roasted meats, venison, or aged hard cheeses.
