87/100 45

Lifted, aromatic Syrah with appealing floral and black pepper flavours adding extra interest to a core of red fruits. Very pretty wine with subtlety and a moderate amount of power. Quite dense with a moderately “aged vines” character.

Tasted: May 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $33 (~USD $25)
