Description
 
Te Mata Estate is New Zealand's oldest winery, dating from the early 1890's. Vines were first planted at Te Mata Estate in 1892 on three parcels of hillside land above the homestead. Today, Te Mata Estate still utilises those original three vineyards to produce its most famous wines; Coleraine, Awatea and Elston.

The Awatea Cabernet / Merlot has been produced since 1982. Blended of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2009 Awatea Cabernet / Merlot offers a deep garnet-purple color and aromas of Indian spice, sandalwood, cloves and cumin seed over warm blackberries and cassis plus hints of cigar box and cedar. Full bodied with muscular fruit and a good amount of spicy berry flavors in the mouth, it has firm grainy tannins, crisp acid and a long, elegant finish. Approachable now, it should continue to drink to 2020+. Wine Advocate 92
