The 2007 Obsidian (Cabernet Franc/Merlot) has a very fine tobacco tinged nose with blackberry, smoke and a touch of lapsong souchang. The palate is medium-bodied, well balanced with fine tannins. Bordeaux-influenced, this is akin to a very fine Cru Bourgeois. Lovely focus, a little austerity and fresh tobacco on the dry finish. Classy stuff from one of Waiheke upcoming stars! Drink 2010-2017. No known American importer.
