"95 Points - Huon Hooke - The Real Review "An excellent Awatea" Dark and bright, Awatea Cabernets/Merlot '18 is an inky purple with an electric crimson edge. AROMA From a warm and dry vintage, Awatea '18 shows ripe blackberry and blackcurrant aromatics with elements of vanilla creme and sandalwood. PALATE On the palate there's a banquet of plum, raspberry, dried herbs and lingering dark cherry, set out across cedar and cocoa powder tannins. Classical in structure, with fine balance and length, Awatea Cabernets/Merlot '18 is resplendent in its purity and detail.
