Matt’s review:

Craggy Range Te Kahu Gimblett Gravels Single Vineyard Proprietary Red 2021 from Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand – A blend of 49% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, and 2% Petit Verdot. This deep ruby coloured wine shows tart dark fruits, plum, pepper, graphite, and earthy notes on the nose. The palate showcases the wine’s elegance and great structure with impressive intensity and concentration. Tart dark fruit, earthy, herbal, and mineral layers supported with great structure and an undeniable ‘Gimblett Dust’ texture on the long refreshing finish. Enjoy with charcoal grilled lamb and beef kebabs. Enjoy 2024-2034. Tasted March 2024. 93 points. Matt Steeves – http://www.quercusvino.ca
