Bilancia La Collina Hawke's Bay NZ Syrah 2006

94/100
Produced from grapes grown on a steep, terraced hillside in the Gimplett Gravels district of Hawk'e Bay. The wine is dense with ripe, spice and berryfruit flavours. Like the wines of the northern Rhone it is more about texture and complexity than intense fruit flavours. Good food wine with great potential. A very sophisticated Syrah.
