"Instantly satisfying and inviting on the nose, showing blackcurrant, dried herb, floral and spicy oak characters, leading to a delectably expressed palate that’s filled with dark and red fruit flavours with a discreet oak infusion. Offering excellent structure and immense drinkability at the same time, it’s hugely charming and enticing. A blend of 46% cabernet sauvignon, 32 merlot & 22 cabernet Franc. At its best: 2024 to 2034" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2021

"Very youthful and concentrated with dark berries and clove vanilla oak, smoky and forward, varietal and urgent. Great wine - young and needs time, but has power and muscle I have not really noticed before. Spicy plums and dark berries, black berry and black currant. Firm tannins and acidity, youthful, focused, high energy and very exciting. Best drinking from 2022 through 2028+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2021

Edged with a brilliant crimson, Awatea Cabernets/Merlot ’19 has a rich magenta core, with dark plum, blackberry, and lush black cherry forming the deep heart of this wine. There’s grace notes of cola and cassis, bay leaf, lavender, and tapenade. Ripe acid and long tannins give a layered richness that builds in length and texture. The classic aromas of the best vintages are already present, the hallmark of age-ability. Awatea Cabernets/Merlot ’19 is a resplendent vintage, and full of appeal.

The grapes for Awatea ’19 were hand harvested from Te Mata Estate’s vineyards between 26 and 28 March 2019. The separate parcels of grapes were destemmed before a traditional warm, plunged fermentation and extended maceration on skins. The resulting wines were then run to new and seasoned French oak barrels for 15 months’ ageing. Throughout this time, they were regularly topped and racked. The separate wines were blended in January 2020, then returned to barrel for their second winter. The finished wine was then egg white fined and bottled in November 2020. The final blend is 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc.

Awatea takes its name from the historic ship SS Awatea (a Maori word meaning “Eye of the Dawn”) that sailed the Auckland – Sydney – Wellington route in the late 1930s. The Awatea was requisitioned as a troop transport in WWII and was sunk off Algeria in 1942.

Food Pairing: Best enjoyed from a large glass, with a hard cheese, and good company.

Not so big bull. Tiny in size. Not
Color: Blue Cow
Cute but underwhelmed by the size. Barely 7”x4”. Missing over 3 inches from description. Disappointment indeed.

Grump lobster toy
Color: Red Lobster
My girl blood-eagled this poor thing within minutes but she had one heck of a time doing it! If you're looking for durable, this probably isn't for you. If, however, you're looking for some quality entertainment for you and your dog, look no further. A little reconstruction and ol' Larry was ready for round two of being eviscerated. Solid toy, real cute.

Not a terrible toy
Color: Blue Cow
Not a terrible product, but for a super sure it doesn’t last very long. It’s cute, but this is meant for definitely a small two small medium dog.

Puppy/Dogs like. Not chewed up yet, and looks to be very sturdy. I like purchasing my puppy/dogs rope like toys. And this one is good.
