Named for the head of Te Motu’s founding family, Terry Dunleavy, Kokoro means ‘the patriarch’ in Maori and ‘the heart of things’ in Japanese.A Merlot dominant blend with Cabernet S auvignon, Malbec and Syrah, hand-harvested from low-yielding vines, Kokoro is made in a more forward style to accentuate fruit ripeness and texture, this wine can be enjoyed in its youth but has the pedigree to improve for years to come. Kokoro is released 20 months after vintage. Vintage 2014 Tasting Notes:A medium ruby red with slight garnet hue. Aromas of red currant, dark cherry and wild berry intertwine with red rose petal and a subtle vanilla undertone. The wine has a medium plus body with a lively tannin and acid that works seamlessly in balance. The palate is soft and textural with juicy cherry, red currant and a hint of spice that lingers long after the last sip. Show more
