Wild Rock “The Underarm” Syrah 2005 Thursday, Dec 6 2007
Tasting Notes and New Zealand and Hawke's Bay and Variety and Red and shiraz et al
From the Gimblett Gravels in the Hawke’s Bay region. A big dose of crushed white pepper and spices on the nose, with creamy red cherries and some dry woody nuances. The palate shows lovely cool climate characteristics, fresh red cherries and spices, and though the acid does show through a bit there is some lovely balance. An enjoyable wine at a tidy price - I am sure Trevor Chappell would love to tuck into a bottle or two.
