Gold - Six nations challenge 2015
Bestowed with ‘Classic NZ Wine’ status, this superb Syrah from the exceptional 2013 vintage brims with intense flavour and complexity, displaying luscious boysenberry, pepper spice and liquorice, on a beautifully integrated and refined palate. Eminently drinkable now, it will also greatly reward cellaring for longer term enjoyment.

5 Stars - Bob Campbell

5 Stars - Raymond Chan - "The nose is full and voluminous with powerful and deeply concentrated aromas of ripe black berry and plum fruits. Medium-full bodied, densely packed ripe fruit flavours of black and dark red berryfruit and plums are complexed by nuances of earthy minerals, iron-earth, sweet oak and subtle spice elements. This is a concentrated, well-structured Merlot with ripe black fruit flavours"
93 points - Bob Campbell - "An elegant, fruity Merlot with plum, red berry, bramble, spice and a suggestion of floral / violet flavours. Quite a dense, powerful red wine from an excellent vintage. It's approachable now, but should age well."
