Sourced from the Redstone vineyard in the Ngatawara Triangle in Hawkes Bay, this Syrah very fine with a subtle nose of black cherries, iodine and garrigue with great definition and focus. The palate is concentrated, very polished with good acidity, smooth texture (perhaps too smooth?) But very clean black fruits and seductive on the oaky finish. Very fine, very polished. Drink 2008-2012. Tasted January 2008.
