February 5, 2020 - Two visits to Waiheke Island (Easter 2019 and New Year's 2020) (Auckland, NZ): Bottle tasting, small pour. Montepulciano is 8.5% of Obsidian’s eight hectares of plantings. Purple red. On the nose, black cherries with wild blackberries, earth and some savoury elements. A nice, easy drinking Monte. Friendly, supple and soft tannins. Black cherries, blackberries and tilled earth. ABV 14%.
