The Villa Maria Ngakirikiri Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 stands out with a remarkable depth and complexity, earning a stellar 96 points from Vinous and 95 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Hailing from the renowned Gimblett Gravels region in Hawke’s Bay, this wine showcases the unique terroir with its rich, dark fruit profile—think black currants and ripe plums, beautifully intertwined with notes of dark chocolate and subtle herbs. Its velvety tannins and balanced acidity create a luxurious mouthfeel, making it a delightful companion for a hearty lamb roast or a rich mushroom risotto. With such an exceptional pedigree, this wine is not only a treat for the senses but also a smart buy for the quality, delivering remarkable value for those seeking a top-tier Cabernet.
