Colour:	Vibrant, purple crimson

"Corbans Homestead Hawke's Bay Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2006: There are not many Hawke’s Bay reds of any kind at this price, but this has become a firm favourite over the past couple of years among people looking for a cheaper red. Good colour and flavour with a reasonably liberal shake of spice."
