Vidal Reserve Series Syrah 13%, 750ml

the very essence of Gimblett Gravels Syrah and a compelling yet affordable example of why international wine writers are calling for Syrah to make up more than its current 4% of Hawkes Bay’s plantings.

SMELLS

• Impressively concentrated dark and fragrant fruits, with notes of cracked pepper, violet and spice.

TASTES

• A juicy palate with elegant structure encompassing flavours of darkest cherry, plum, cinnamon, jasmine and pepper.
• The tannins are silky making it very approachable now but the impressive structural elements of this Syrah will enable it to develop more fullness and roundness over the next 3-5 years.
