Te Awa Merlot - 2004(W-876)

Te Awa Merlot
Fresh, Fruity Smooth & Elegant

Winery Story

Te Awa Farm is a unique place. The full name in Maori - Te Awa o Te Atua - means River of God, a reference to the mysterious subterranean st... (more...)reams over which Te Awa Farm sits, and from which its single estate grown wines draw their sublime character. In 1992 the Lawson family -- longtime grape growers -- established the Hawke's Bay property.

Tasting Note

Rich, concentrated aromas and flavors of dark plum and cherry mingle with spice, licorice and mineral notes. Medium-bodied and well-structur... (more...)ed without astringent tannins. A subtle dark chocolate character comes through on the lingering finish, along with a hint of fragrant cherry.
