Elephant Hill STONE Syrah 2020, Hawke's Bay

Hues of dark red ruby and light purple with a magenta rim lead to a bouquet of ripe red berry fruits and fresh meats, baking spices of vanilla and a touch of cinnamon then violet and stone earth suggestions. The oak has a layer of smoke then a new wood power. There’s also a fresh Brazil nut quality that come to mind. Overall a bright, youthful and engaging bouquet. A dry wine touches the palate with a youthful, fleshy texture, an abundance of tannins and refreshing acid line. Flavours reflect the bouquet centering of flavours of boysenberry and tart raspberry, there’s a light white pepper note then flavours from wood and earth. A wine that requires some settling in time with best drinking from 2025 through 2034.
