Huon Hooke
Deep, youthful purple/red colour and a superb bouquet of violets and blueberries laced with super-stylish cedary oak. A gloriously graceful, elegant, pure-fruit style of cabernet, with refined and controlled tannins and a long follow-through. Cleansing tannins to finish and a note of Chinato/bitter herbs, like its sister-wine, Clementine. (79% cab sauv, 13% merlot, 8% malbec)
