Mission Estate Jewelstone Syrah 2019, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay
An engaging, enticing bouquet with aromas of raspberry and plum, layers of complexity from sweet baking spices of oak, a mix of silty sandy soil scents, some violet and mild pepper notes, warmth and generosity. On the palate - a wine that reveals texture and intensity followed by a core of fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Coarse silk and chalk-textured tannins, a firm line of acidity and persistent flavours of fruit. Lengthy finish, eve and youthful. Best drinking from late 2022 through 2030+.
