2009 Hawke's Bay Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc

The Dada Wines Limited Merlot Syrah Cabernet Franc Blend from the 2009 vintage showcases a beautifully rich red color that promises depth and character right from the first glance. Hailing from the esteemed Hawke's Bay region, this blend offers a harmonious interplay of Merlot's plush fruitiness, Syrah's vibrant spice, and Cabernet Franc's elegant structure. The body is full, allowing for a mouthfeel that envelops the palate with each sip. With high acidity, the wine provides a refreshing lift, balancing the fruit intensity which is pronounced yet refined, showcasing flavors of dark berries, plums, and subtle floral notes. The tannins are notable, contributing firmness without overpowering the wine's elegant profile. While the wine leans towards dryness, it retains an inviting character, making it an excellent choice for both casual sipping and pairing with a variety of hearty dishes. Overall, this blend exemplifies the terroir of Hawke's Bay, culminating in a wine that is both expressive and approachable.
