Te Awa Merlot Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
Whoa! Delicious Merlot… from New Zealand?! You betcha. This kind of quality to price ratio is hard to find these days. Rich plummy fruit in a spice box package. Depth, complexity, soft tannin, balanced acidity, and ripe flavors, AND its affordable! Who’d a thunk it? Perfect for late season grilling or indoor broiling. Try it with sausage, duck, or even a simple roast chicken, you’ll be very pleased with the results.
