Bostock Vicki's Vineyard Syrah 2018, Hawkes Bay

Fantastic bouquet of Syrah with aromas reminiscent of baked raspberry and toasty wood spices, sweet black currant, clove and smoke. Youthful, complex and alluring. On the palate - weighty, warm, complex and fruity, varietal and spicy with ground pepper and dried herb. Tannins are fine to moderate with a mealy chalk dust texture, plenty of acidity to contrast the core of fruit and sweet wood smoke flavours. Balanced and well made with a lengthy totally enjoyable finish. The warmth and generosity of Hawkes Bay’s baked soil flavours show as well as thoughts of the northern Rhone. Best drinking from today and through 2025.
