The Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels “The Gimblett” Red 2013 is an intriguing red wine.  "'The Gimblett' is traditionally made from a blend of grape varieties. The Cabernet family gives structure and fresh aromatics. Merlot gives richness and mid-palate weight with Petit Verdot helping with complexity, density and color. The result is a wine with beautiful aromatics that include ripe blackberry, fresh blackcurrant and dried herbs. Structurally the wine is complex, powerful and food-friendly when young. This structure will allow the development of further complexity over the next 10 years. Try with red meat and game dishes."
