Redmetal Basket Press 2021 (Merlot, Cabernet Franc Blend)

Tasting Notes: Dark crimson, with black plum and ripe berryfruit flavours along with a touch of oak and soft tannins. Soft tannins with food friendly flavours and our trademark drinkability along with the weight and structure to cellar for 5-8 years if you can hold out that long. Hawkes Bay, New Zealand

A blend of 89% Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Syrah for lifted floral aromatics

NOTES: The Basket Press vintages are consistently well reviewed. and highly considered.
