Beautiful dark color with youthful rim. Powerful aromas leap from the glass, bearing a striking similarity to young Crozes Hermitage or St. Joseph, as grilled meats, beef marinade, hints of cracked pepper, smoke, sage, and ripe blackberries create a tantalizing bouquet. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins offering the finest grip at the end, while well-integrated acids keep the wine light and bright. This Hawkes Bay syrah abounds with sauvage character, bringing thoughts of garrigue and Provencal herbs to mind.

A dynamic red, focused and elegant, spreading a blanket of black pepper over a core of blackberry, currant and licorice flavors that keep kicking through the long, vivid finish. Best from 2011 through 2017. 600 cases made
