description: There's a lot of excitement in New Zealand over Syrah right now, and wines like this are one good reason why. Plum and berry fruit shows good ripeness, without sacrificing the peppery notes that define cool-climate Syrah. It's medium-bodied and crisp, weighing in at a reasonable 13.5% alcohol, and picking up some pleasant espresso and black-olive flavors on the finish. Drink 2010–2015.
