Thomas & Sons Waiheke Blend 2022
Thomas
$150.00
The Thomas & Sons Waiheke Blend catches the eye with its deep ruby colour. With aromas of fresh raspberry, blueberry, wild blackberry, and sweet cherry pie. As it opens up, you'll discover complex undertones of lavender, balsamic herbs, toasted nuts, and rich toffee, finished with hints of vanilla and savoury leather. On the palate, it is full-bodied, perfectly balanced, and bursting with ripe fruit flavours, a smooth mouthfeel, and silky tannins, with a long finish.

Review by Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
5 Stars | 98pts "A glorious rendition offering both opulence and poise; the immensely complex bouquet shows cassis, dark plum, violet, bouquet garni, and fine oak aromas. The palate is concentrated and plush with outstanding depth and persistence, wonderfully framed by layers of grainy tannins, leading to a sustained, captivating finish. At its best: 2028 to 2042."
Review by Cameron Douglas - Master Sommelier
Excellent | 93pts "Great colour and aromatic intensity with core scents of violets and dark berries, chocolate and myriad red berries from boysenberry and raspberry to dark cherry and blackcurrant. Dry, bold, taut and intense, surrounded by polished tannins and medium+ acid line. Fleshy and fragrant, ripe and fruity, myriad flavours and lengthy finish. Well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2033."
