Te Whare Ra SV5182 Syrah 2020 (6 Bottles) Marlborough, NZ

This northern Rhône-inspired rocket. New Zealand's coolest Syrah site explodes through foot-trodden ferments, wild yeast magic and seasoned French oak, unleashing peppery black fruit power and savoury thrill that redefines Marlborough reds with iron fist finesse. Blackberry, blueberry and cracked pepper aromas surge with olive tapenade, smoked meat and violet florals. The palate charges medium-full with chewy tannins, dark plum depth, spicy blood orange lift and mineral persistence that builds endless layers.
