description: It's rare to see a Bordeaux-style blend from New Zealand's South Island, but this is a notable exception that can be even better in other vintages. In 2004, it seems a little light and delicate, with slightly herbal, tomatoey aromas and cherry and herb flavors. The tannins are well-managed, giving it an easy-drinking quality, and you might even try this with the sorts of fish dishes you'd serve with Pinot Noir.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Malbec-Merlot-Cabernet
