Te Mata Awatea 08

$34.65 0750 MLS

Te Mata ‘Awatea’ Cabernets/Merlot 2008 (18.5-/20), at 13.5% alc, was 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franx and 7% Petit Verdot, aged 20 months in new and seasoned French oak. Dark, deep, black-red with purple hues, this was elegant on nose with lovely fragrant blackcurrant aromas, quite pure in expression and supported by subtle oak. An elegant wine in mouthfeel, this was still tight with fine-grained tannins behind pure blackcurrant varietal fruit, beautifully knit and balanced. This will cellar well over the next 7-10 years.
