2008 GIMBLETT GRAVELS Syrah Trinity Hill

2008 GIMBLETT GRAVELS Syrah Trinity Hill

Grapes: Syrah  Origin: New Zealand, North Island
Lea & Sandeman review
Full bodied but very drinkable Syrah, with just a hint of Viognier to lend freshness to the blend.

Other reviews and comments
Informative back label tells us some Viognier was co-fermented with the Syrah and then three weeks of post fermentation maceration and 14 months in barriques followed. Mid ruby. Meaty, appetising nose - no shy retiring flower but a very creditable warm climate Syrah (not Shiraz). Lots of fun and very fine tannins. Well made. Maybe John Hancock's name does deserve its prominence on the label, as though he were a particularly famous film director... Very toothsome. Admirably dry finish clearly marks this wine out for the table.   17

Blended of 92% Syrah and 8% Viognier, the 2008 Gimblett Gravels Syrah displays a deep garnet-purple color and ripe crushed blackberry and blueberry aromas with some violets, honeysuckle, pepper and baking spices. Medium bodied and crisp with ample ripe tannins, it offers a great concentration of spicy / peppery fruit in the mouth and a long finish. Drink it now through 2015+.   91/100
