Saint Clair Family Estate Pioneer Block 17 Cabernet Merlot 2021, Gimblett Gravels, Hawke's Bay

Dark purple and ruby core with a pink-ish rim leads to a bouquet of blackberry, tobacco, roasted bell-pepper, dark plums, fruit compote and baked stone soil suggestions. Youthful and complex. Firm and dry on the palate with a core of dark fruits reflecting the bouquet. The plum and blackberry flavours dominate with firm tannins and medium+ acid line. There’s polish and style, textures and plushness. A wine to enjoy immediately if accompaied with food or cellar fr a time with best drinking from 2026 through 2033+.
