Tasting Notes

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Homage Gimblett Gravels Syrah is a little closed, with notes of blueberries and plums plus hints of allspice, chocolate and toast. Medium to full-bodied, it gives a good core of mid-palate flesh supported by medium to high acid and a medium to firm level of rounded tannins, going savory / earthy in the long finish. Drink it now to 2018+.

The wine by which all other top-tier New Zealand syrah wines have always been judged, this has impressive depth and ripeness, tapping into a spectrum of concentrated dark and red fruits more deeply and more profoundly than most. It is bathed in Moroccan spice and pepper, and a decent serve of toasty oak that is easily subsumed. The palate scoops deep and wide, delivering luscious, ripe dark berry, pomegranate and plum fruit flavor, plus licorice and spice. Mouth-coating tannins hold the finish long. Drink now.
