Oak is at the fore of this one's flavour profile - particularly robust and intense for a Lowland expression

Great in a negroni

Puriri Hills Estate 2021/22 Garage Project Oak is at the fore95 Points A blend of merlot, carmnre, malbec and cabernet franc. This is a marvellous wine from a challenging vintage. It is a bright, vibrant and restrained red with layers of red berry, fresh herb, floral and spicy oak flavours. Elegant rather than blockbuster. Should develop well in bottle. Bob Campbell ONZM MW
