Puriri Hills Harmonie du Soir 2019, Clevedon, NZD $135
A blend of merlot, cabernet franc, carmenère and malbec. Complex, elegant wine with some savoury bottle development adding extra interest to berry fruit, dried herb and vinous characters. Deliciously accessible now but showing good cellaring potential. (Cork)
