Hikari No Hana Red Wine 2018
Tasting notes
This red wine expresses the traditional marriage of the Bordeaux varieties. Soft and full like a new blossom, fresh mint mingles with lofty red fruits, Bing cherry, and black plum. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon for power and complexity, Cabernet Franc for finesse, and Merlot for softness.

Wine Enthusiast- 90 points
This is made from a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon, with 10% Cabernet Franc and 7% Merlot. Elegant and light in style, it offers high acidity and tangy red fruit amidst a backdrop of dried herb and chalky tannin.
James Suckling- 91 points
Aromas of blackberries, cherries and raspberries with dried herbs, cloves and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied with crunchy tannins and bright acidity. Juicy and vibrant with a vivid, blue-fruited finish.
