Craggy Range established in 1997, situated in the shadow of the Te Mata Peak premium wine growing area of Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. Dark Ruby with black fruit aromas with sweet spice notes. This 5 grape blend of 63% Merlot, 14% Cab Franc, 18% Cab Sauv, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec shows blackberry & a plum flavors with cedar & vanilla. Fine soft Tannins, rich and complex on a lingering finish. Great value, but screw cap so drink now as I am learning screw caps do not allow proper bottle age!! Tasting Sample!

Blind would have guessed lower tier Bdx. On the nose, dark fruit and some dried flowers. In the mouth, dark cherries and some leather. Decent acidity, medium tannin, medium length. Decent QPR at $21. Did not survive well on the second day.

Full bodied, dark fruit, heavy... but not punch you in the face heavy like a Napa Cab. Definitely buy again, and again, and again.
