CJ Pask 2005 Gimblett Road Syrah (Hawke’s Bay)

Country: New Zealand / Gimblett Road
Variety: Syrah Hawke’s Bay
Winery: CJ Pask /

Syrah is quickly gaining popularity in Hawke’s Bay and this is a good example why. Reminiscent of a Crozes-Hermitage, this wine’s meaty, peppery aromas and blackberry-boysenberry fruit aren’t overpowering, just nicely balanced and very drinkable over the near term.
