Clearview Cape Kidnappers Syrah 2019, Hawkes Bay

Clearview CapeSyr19.jpg

An abundance of varietal impact on the nose with aromas of black currant and raspberry, violets and fresh baking spices, fresh pepper and peppercorn, sweet olive and toasty wood. On the palate - youthful, fresh and vibrant with a core of red berry flavours contrasted by spices, a brambly mix of dried herb, ageing meats and baked field mushroom. Toasty wood flavours alongside firm tannins; a youthful, tense and ripe structure, acidity forms the backbone pulling all the components together. A lengthy, even finish, youthful and very attractive mouth feel. Well made, a wine that will stand the test of time in your cellar. Best drinking from late 2021 through 2026.
