Country: New Zealand / Hawke’s Bay
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Gunn Estate / Silistria
This Syrah is really attractive upfront, with aromas of sweet pastry crust, baked plum, licorice and cracked pepper. The plum and blackberry fruit is balanced by some savory elements on the palate, which doesn’t show a lot of weight or length. A pretty wine to drink over the next couple of years.
