Zaria Merlot & Cabernet Franc 2025, Hawke's Bay

An engaging bouquet of fresh and roasted Doris plums, olive and hay, blackberry and spices, some wood smoke and stony-earthy ideas. A dry wine with medium+ weight, plenty of tannin and an acid line deliver a decent structure to frame the red berry fruits core. Flavours of purple fruits and texture lead to a balanced wine with best drinking from late 2027 through 2032.
