At the United Cellars Cabernet tasting. Man O War is the largest producer on Waiheke Island - 44% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Franc - the rest in descending order of Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Woody perfume notes. Light to medium bodied with some caramel oak and red berries coming through on palate of medium intensity.
