Vidal Estate Legacy Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 (3x 750mL), New Zealand. Cork closure
Credit Card / PayPal surcharge fee may apply. See User Agreement
98/100 Bob Campbell, MW
Very impressive Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Sauvignon with textbook varietal flavours of cedar/cigar box,
cassis plus a subtle hint of fresh herbs and with a seasoning of very classy oak. This is a flagship wine that
thoroughly justifies its exalted status. Should develop magnificently with bottle age.
Michael Cooper
The highly impressive 2014 vintage is an unblended Cabernet Sauvignon, estate-grown in the Omahu
Gravels vineyard and matured for 20 months in French oak barriques (50 per cent new). Invitingly dark and
fragrant, it is fleshy and concentrated, with dense, ripe blackcurrant, plum, spice and nut flavours, hints of
dark chocolate and herbs, well-integrated oak adding complexity, and fine-grained tannins. A classic - and
classy - young Cabernet Sauvignon, it should flourish for decades.
97/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Legacy is an appropriate name for this exceptional wine. Classic, firm, expressive and engaging, and offers
symphonic flavours and multi-layered texture. Aromas of cassis, Black Doris plum, cedar and cigar lead to
a concentrated and densely weighted palate that is ripe, rounded and extremely long. The wine combines
awesome fruit power and purity with elegant oak infusion and textural mouthfeel. This is destined for
greatness. From their Omahu Gravels vineyard in the Gimblett Gravels district. At its best: 2018 to 2032.
19.0+/20 Raymond Chan
Very dark, full black-red with purple hues, near impenetrable, a little lighter on the rim. This has a finely
proportion nose, tightly concentrated and refined and detailed in expression showing a core of ripe black
berried fruits alongside blackcurrant essence, cassis liqueur, lifted mint and herbal elements, pencil shaving
and spicy oak and nuances of iron-earth. Medium-full bodied, the palate is well-presented with great depth,
intensity and concentration of sweetly ripe, succulent fruit flavours of blackberries and blackcurrants. Layers
of cassis, mint, herbs along with iron-earth and oak add complexing detail. This has a concentrated core with
fine-grained tannin extraction providing drive and linearity. Refined acidity lends energy and freshness, and
the wine carries to a long, lingering, tightly bound finish of black fruits with herbs, earth and oak nuances.
This is an elegantly concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon with ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and cassis essence
flavours on a very fine-grained, beautifully structured palate
This is a handsome treat for cabernet lovers from a stellar Hawke’s Bay vintage. Crushed cassis and seductive floral scents lead the charge. In the mouth it is deliciously supple in texture and is built around a radiant, succulent core of dark and blue fruit. Gorgeous now, it will also age gracefully.

Anthony Joseph Vidal immigrated to New Zealand from Spain in 1888, initially working for his uncle, pioneer winemaker Joseph Soler in Wanganui. In 1905 he purchased a small amount of land and established the Vidal winery at the present site in Hastings.
Vidal is Hawke’s Bay oldest boutique winery and is also renowned for its award winning brasserie style restaurant, which was the first winery restaurant facility in New Zealand. It has undergone several face lifts since its inception in 1979 and is now a highly sophisticated venue. The addition of wines from the Marlborough region has supported the position of Vidal as a successful winery both in New Zealand and in Vidal's export markets around the world.
A combination of traditional winemaking techniques and modern methods are used to produce the very stylish and modern Vidal Sauvignon Blanc from fruit sourced from vineyards across the Marlborough region.

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”
Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.
We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.
★ ★ ★ ★
Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.
★ ★ ★
Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.
A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.
Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.
Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
