An oldie but a goodie 👍 Posted @withregram • @steven_brunskill @sacredhillwine Helmsman 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), Merlot (44%) and Cabernet Franc (11%) Deep opaque ruby in the glass. Aromas of blackcurrant blackberry with charred oak I also wonder if subtlest hint of TCA in this particular bottle which was sealed by cork which seemed fine. Firm grippy tannins concentrated and still quite tight with lots of charred oak rather than primary fruit which makes me wonder about TCA as is quite dry or perhaps just needs more time. Have another 3 bottles so will try in a few more years. 4 Stars based on this bottle at this time. @hawkesbaywine Gimblett Gravels #gimblettgravels #hawkesbaywine #wine #nzwine #cabernetsauvignon #merlot #cabernetfranc ...

Another Trophy winning Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay! Congratulations Trinity Hill Wines, consistently making top drops #gimblettgravelsWe are excited to share some more international success today! ​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​
The IWSC judges noted of the wine, "A lovely and inviting wine whose crisp, multi-layered palate shows a beautiful balance of smoky, toasty oak over flavours of fleshy yellow and tropical fruits and a preserved lemon zip. Long, concentrated and complex."​​​​​​​​
