"The distinctive, skilfully crafted 2013 vintage (5*) is the finest yet. Hand-harvested at ‘select vineyard sites’ in Hawke’s Bay and matured in French oak barrels (25 per cent new), it is deeply coloured, with a ripely fragrant bouquet. A refined, mouthfilling, generous red, it is a pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, with strong, vibrant blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, fine-grained tannins, and excellent length" Michael Cooper, Buyers Guide to New Zealand Wines 2013

"Collaboration Wines Argent Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is a dense, deep yet elegant cabernet sauvignon with cassis, blackcurrant and a hint of violet and cigar box. The wine is well-structured with ripe tannins that suggest good ageing potential. Good now but even better later." Bob Campbell, The Real Review, June 2019

"Julianne Brogden loves Cabernet Sauvignon, and has worked in California and Margaret River, two regions that specialize in it. This comes from the Gimblett Gravels. Aromatic nose of blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, leading to a supple, finely spiced palate with good structure. A structured, refined wine with a fine spiciness. Quite savoury and stony." Jamie Goode’s Wine Anorak, October 2018

Deep, dark, Carmine colour in the glass. The bouquet presents intense cassis and dark black fruits, a hint of fragrant lavender. The palate is deep with brooding dark black fruits, cassis and cocoa, supported by elegant French oak. Layers of richness, depth and complexity, pure and focused. Premium, barrel aged, rich and concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2013 Vintage in Hawke’s Bay was stunning, long, dry and hot providing perfect growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon.
