On the nose, this Syrah offers intense aromas of dark cherries, plums, and black pepper, with a hint of smoky oak. On the palate, the wine reveals a beautiful balance of ripe fruit and savoury notes, with a touch of spice and velvety tannins. The deep ruby colour hints at the wine's depth and concentration, while the long, lingering finish leaves a lasting impression.

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
Offering fabulous fruit purity with elegant complexity, the wine shows dark plum, sweet cherry, olive, floral and roasted nut aromas. The concentrated palate displays richness as well as poise, combined with velvety texture and polished tannins, finishing impressively long and delectable.

Mike Bennie - The Wine Front
Bright and vibrant syrah. Poised and precise. Fragrant with red cherry, game meat, alpine herbs, white pepper – classic, but, classy. Satiny texture, a succulence on a river of cool, minerally acidity, exceptional length and ultra fine, lacy tannins. Absolutely beautiful.

Gary Walsh - The Wine Front
One thing about Hawke’s Bay, is there’s a hell of a lot of UV happening. Even in winter you can turn a gentle pink colour if you spend a bit of time in the sun.
Juicy, Turkish delight, rosewater, raspberry, redcurrant jelly, Medium-bodied, raspberry jubes, grainy but kind of squishy, good finish. Very nice wine.
Decanter
Bright red fruit with hints of pepper aromas. Spicy and juicy on the appealing palate with nicely poised tannins.
