Vintners' Brunch

Babich Wines Limited

The Patriarch 2002

(60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 20% Malbec - Gimblett Gravels, Hawke's Bay)

A warm and balanced wine, with a strong bouquet of spice and blackberry with a touch of chocolate and cedar. The palate is full and rich with smooth tannins. The notes of blackberry and chocolate follow through into the mouth along with hints of plum, tobacco and spicy oak on the finish.
