During the tasting, the 2019 Hawke's Bay Awatea Cabernets/Merlot received my highest marks from the impressive Te MATA range. I was taken with its overall elegance, depth of flavour and generous length. A blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc with a fragrance of plum, raspberry, herb and vanilla. Firm, well-integrated tannins house flavours of red and black berry fruit, spearmint and oak spice. Built to evolve over the next 10 years. 2022-2032 – LW
