Villa Maria, Ngakirikiri Cabernet Sauvignon Brut Zero Shows excellent clarity on theThe impressive 2014 Ngakirikiri is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Pencil shavings frame notes of cassis liqueur in this medium to full bodied wine that manages to be rich and creamy yet firmly structured and intense. It's downright embryonic at this stage, with layers of primary fruit, elegant French oak and a swirl of dusty tannins on the lingering finish. This luxury cuve sets a new standard of excellence for Villa Maria.
