Neal Martin writes about New Zealand wines for the world renowned wine commentator, Robert Parker for The Wine Advocate. Below you will see Neal’s detailed tasting notes - The Wine Advocate, No. 176 Apr 2008. Both wines (05 and 06) confirm Coleraine’s reputation as New Zealand’s benchmark Bordeaux-blend wine and in terms of quality, I would have no hesitation placing it within the class of Bordeaux Second Growths. After completing two verticals of Coleraine, witnessing a couple of tasters undergo their Te Mata epiphany, I conjectured whether this is New Zealand's greatest wine? Well, let me put it this way, it is the frontrunner. The magnificent 2006 Coleraine (43% cabernet sauvignon, 8% cabernet franc and 49% Merlot) is blessed with a complex nose of macerated cherries, wild strawberry with touches of hung game and leather developing with aeration, the palate full-bodied with an irresistible cashmere texture, a wine that will age effortlessly over 10-15 years. RATING: 94 Points
