Wild Rock, Merlot Malbec 2005, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand ($19.80)

A total steal of a wine at under $20, and I'm so glad I found a good vendor in Wine Bank on View in Bendigo to stock this.  A dark colour with some cigar box on the nose.  Blackberry coming through nicely on the palate with well spread tannin to the wine backbone.  Great stuff.
