Puriri Hills Harmonie Du Soir, Vintage 2015
THE REVIEWS
97 Points “Elegant and complex red with a mix of red fruits, floral, spice and subtle nutty oak together with a hint of fresh herbs. Finely-structured with peppery tannins. A supple wine that is successfully modelled after Right Bank Bordeaux. It will age well.” - Bob Campbell ONZM MW
5 Stars “Formerly called 'Puriri Hills Reserve', this regional classic has been labelled as 'Harmonie Du Soir' since the 2012 vintage. Estate-grown at Clevedon, in South Auckland, it is blended from varying proportions of Merlot (principally), Cabernet Franc, Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, and typically matured for two years in French oak barriques (80 percentage new in 2015). The 2015 vintage (5*) is a classy, youthful red, notably Bordeaux-like. Deeply coloured, it is fragrant, mouthfilling and smooth, with rich, ripe blackcurrant, plum, herb and spice flavours, seasoned with nutty oak, and excellent vigour, complexity, structure and harmony. A very ageworthy red, it's well worth cellaring to 2024+.” - Michael Cooper
