Awatea Cabernets/Merlot, Hawke’s Bay — 2020 – Wine Advocate – 95 Points
95 points
“The 2020 Awatea Cabernets Merlot is ripe and fleshy and almost a little obvious at this stage, but it’s so lovely in its expression of Cabernet et al. A little iodine, a little oyster shell, bay leaf, dark chocolate and tobacco, they’re all present and accounted for. This is a brilliant wine.”
