Craggy Range 'Le Sol' Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2020, Hawke's Bay

The core of ripe red berry fruits and black currant, sweet meat and toasty vanilla barrel spice captures the essence of a fine Syrah. Complexity from scents of violet and raspberry, black currant and wild flowers are woven between scents of fruit spice and smoky wood, a whisper of pepper spice, flat mushroom and baking spices of barrel. Complex and youthful. Delicious and dry on the palate with a taut mouthfeel, a squeeze of tannins and back bone of acidity showcase a young wine that needs time to come together. The lengthy finish and developing complexities as the wine opens up assures me this wine is a keeper. Best drinking from 2024 through 2034.
