Paritua Stone Paddock Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, Hawke’s Bay, NZD $25
Elegant and quite intense red with blackcurrant/cassis, cedar, dark chocolate and spicy oak flavours. Firmly structured red that shows good cellaring potential but is a little “locked up” right now. Worth decanting. A textbook example of cabernet sauvignon. (Screwcap)
