Smith & Sheth CRU Heretaunga Syrah 2019, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay

A calm, balanced and even bouquet with a softness and completeness led by aromas of red berries and toasty barrel. Baking spice scents combine with a silty dry stone earth quality adding complexity and depth. Equally expressive on the palate with tension and poise from tannins and acidity leading to flavours of raspberry and plum, some red apple and stony mineral qualities. Tannins retain and chalky texture, acidity for freshness and red fruit flavours combine to showcase a lovely wine with plenty of energy and decent length. Best drinking from 2022 through 2028+.
