Great color and weight but lacked complexity and depth. Drank this a stone throw from Abel Tasman National Park. 3 hour stellar boat ride in the morning made up for everything.

Nice wine with plenty of spice and rich berries. Medium mouthfeel though certainly smooth on the finish. Vanilla also in abundance.
