92+ points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2008 Te Kahu Gimblett Gravels Vineyard is a blend of 64% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Malbec matured in 48% new oak for 18 months. It has an introverted bouquet with blackberry leaf, cassis, damson, vanilla and a touch of blueberry that unfurls nicely in the glass. The palate is tannic and very well defined, a captivating symmetry here with an irresistible velvety finish that lingers long after the wine has bid adieu. Although it already shows considerable breeding, it will offer more later. Drink 2014-2022+." (10/10) This vintage of Te Kahu features blackberry, cinnamon, sandalwood, and oyster shell like minerality which mesh for an intense and complex aromatic profile. Layers of fine tannin lend tension to the opulent fruit flavors and provide the framework for the long and intense finish. This deserves your very best read meat dishes. Craggy Range is really over-delivering with this Te Kahu blend of Bordeaux varietals. The bouquet shows notes of violet, plum, cherry and cassis. The palate offers plush silky fine tannins with integrated oak nuance and mineral and spice highlights that are supported by good acidity and fine length. (Jim Chanteloup, New Zealand wine buyer)
