Otto’s Constant Dream 2008 Syrah (Hawke’s Bay)

Country: New Zealand / Hawke’s Bay
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Otto’s Constant Dream /

This wine is light in color, but still packs a mouthful of flavor. It’s peppery and meaty upfront, filled out on the midpalate by tart fruit that verges on cranberry in flavor. Pretty rather than potent; drink now-2014.
