Ata Rangi Celebre Martinborough 2008
On the nose, blueberries and blackcurrants meld with hints of cocoa powder and a whiff of gamey venison. Spicy, peppery notes open up on the palate while layers of fine, supple tannins provide backbone and texture. A long, smooth finish completes the blend; this time one third ofeach Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc.
