Score 87/100 · Drink 2014-2019, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Jan 2015

Blended of 69% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 9% Malbec, the 2011 Te Kahu Vineyard Proprietary Red displays a deep purple-black color and nose of fresh black currants, blackberries and black cherries with hints of violets, cigar boxes and dried Provence herbs. Medium bodied, it is just a little lean on fruit concentration in the mouth, nonetheless offering fresh, youthful black and red berry flavors and complimentary herbal accents structured with well-balanced chewy tannins and just enough acidity, finishing just a tad abruptly.

Rather underpowered on the nose, especially for the style. Lots of violet fragrance on the palate – is there Malbec here? Soft, balanced. Reminds me of Valpolicella. Take that as you will. (RH)

Blend of 69% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 9% Malbec. Mid crimson. Toasty nose that is not too insistent or brash. Neat and well mannered. Perhaps slightly too mild but easy to like. I'd love to see it just a tad more ambitious. (JR)
