Takatu Merlot Franc Malbec 2005

New Zealand, Matakana
70% Merlot / 25% Cabarnet Franc / 5% Malbec

A deep garnet coloured wine with velvety smooth tannins.  Beautiful and concentrated aromas of ripe morello cherries, black plums, black berries and rich, dark chocolate.

A lovely wine that drinks well now, but will cellar for the next 7 years.
