Mills Reef Winery Reserve Cabernet Merlot 2017 Gimblett Gravels Hawkes Bay

Attractive bouquet of dark red berries and plums, baking spices and smoky wood tones, some dry stone mineral underpins the core of fruits. Dry, medium+ weight wine with a youthful core of tart red berries and plums; the smoky toasty wood adds structure alongside the youthful acid and alcohol attributes. A food wine in its youth with best drinking from 2019 through 2025.
