Sacred Hill Helmsman Cabernet - Merlot, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3946

The 2014 Helmsman is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, aged 18 months in 50% new French oak. While it lacks some of the immediate plushness of the Brokenstone, it exceeds that wine in its floral aromas, aristocratic bearing and length. Cassis, flowers and dried herbs mark the nose, while the cassis fruit is kept in check on the palate by ripe tannins and hints of pencil shavings, which linger enticingly on the finish.
