144 Islands Sandstone 2020, Bay of Islands

A blend of Syrah, Tempranillo and Sangiovese. Aromas of black berries, dark plum, dark cherries, wood spices and pepper. Youthful, complex and enticing. On the palate - youthful, tense, firm, fruity and dry. Flavours of dark red berries, spicy plums and sour cherries, black currant and dark roses with a whisper of bitter chocolate. Plenty of acidity, firm textured tannins and a lengthy spicy finish. Best drinking from mid to late 2022 through 2028.
