Saint Clair Family Estate
Pioneer Block 17 Cabernet Merlot 2021 750ml
Densely concentrated flavours of dark fruit, new leather and spice. Grown in the famed Gimblett Gravels Sub-region of Hawkes Bay.
Aroma:
Complex aromas of dark fruit and new leather combined with floral notes of the tobacco flower.
Palate:
A dark and dense palate with a sweet dark fruit spectrum. Full bodied and weighty with a luscious chocolate-like texture, spices and a long toasty finish.
Cam Douglas MS
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+.
