Esk Valley 'Hillside' Syrah 2021, Hawkes Bay

Plush, ripe red fruited bouquet with concentration, freshness and power. The variety speaks loud in the bouquet with scents of fresh raspberry flesh black currant and red peppercorn. The sense of place is strong with aromas of clay, dry stones and gravels. Firm, taut, ripe, varietal and dry on the palate. Dusty-edged tannin and back bone acid lines set a strong foundation, the fruit and wood flavours sit nicely alongside and are just beginning to start the integration process. Complex and lengthy, a wine worthy of your attention. Well made, youthful and needing time in cellar. Best drinking from 2025 through 2035+.
