Medium ruby in the glass, it opens with dark berry aromas laced with spice and a whisper of smoke. The palate turns savoury quickly - dark cherry and plum fruit sit alongside fine, supple tannins, cracked pepper and a gentle char of oak on the finish. It is approachable now, though the tannin structure suggests three to four years in the cellar would only add complexity. Pair it with roast duck in plum sauce, mushroom and truffle dishes, or venison - the wine's savoury edge was built for game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentral Otago is home to New Zealand's largest high country sheep stations.
