Corkers Wine Limited Sacred Hill Basket Press Merlot Cabernet Malbec 2004, Hawkes Bay
Sacred Hill Basket Press Merlot Cabernet Malbec 2004, Hawkes Bay
Winner of a prestigious Blue-Gold at the Sydney International Wine Competition in 2005. Sacred Hill is a family-owned winery producing stylistic, handmade wines of which this is a premium example. A complex nose redolent of ripe plum, spice, cinnamon and tobacco with earthy truffle and musk notes. A muscular, layered palate of firm fine grained tannins, a fleshy mid palate with intense ripe plum, fruitcake and five spice flavours and a long smooth finish. A joy with red meats or rich Italian dishes. 13.5% vol.
