Awatea Cabernets/Merlot, Hawke’s Bay — 2021 – Wine Advocate – 96 Points
96 points
“The 2021 Awatea Cabernets Merlot is dusty and chalky aromatically, with lavender and crushed rocks, pouch tobacco and a sheet or two of nori. The wine feels fleshy despite that, and this brings a pleasurable see-saw of savory and succulent. This is an excellent wine and perfumed to the extreme.”
