The 2019 Paritua Red is an elegant, full-bodied Hawke’s Bay blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc that delivers bright aromas of plum, cassis, and mulberry alongside notes of spearmint, cedar, leather, and clove. Its palate offers concentration and richness with fine-grained tannins, integrated acidity, and layers of dark minerals, cocoa, and brown spices. This restrained yet complex wine compares favorably to a classic Bordeaux, showcasing harmonious oak integration and a long, rich finish. It is best enjoyed now through 2030, with the potential to improve further with cellaring.
Serve with beef tomahawk steak, braised short rib, or rich mushroom dishes for a perfect pairing.
