A fragrant, supple and full-bodied example exuding dark berry fruit, lifted floral and spice aromas, and a powerful palate structure that will reward cellaring.
Tasting Notes
A core of dark plum and berry fruit is overlaid with classic Hawke's Bay Syrah perfume of violets, exotic warm spice and cracked black pepper, supported by subtle oak toast. On the palate the wine is full bodied but fine textured with a gentle tannin structure and balanced acidity bringing length and freshness. Well matched to a wide range of full flavoured game and red meat dishes.
