Te Mata Estate ‘Awatea’ Cabernets/Merlot 2017, Hawke’s Bay

Description

First made in 1982, the Awatea is still the benchmark for great-value Hawke’s Bay Cabernet/Merlot blends. Its intense hints of red and black fruit, plum and espresso, all chased by a heady finish and framed by fine tannins, scored 92 Wine Enthusiast points. Drink it from now until the end of the decade.
