The red wine Smith & Sheth CRU Heretaunga Syrah, vintage 2019 from the winery Smith & Sheth has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Syrah
Sumptuous red fruit - think ripest red cherry, juicy plum - come with a notion of tar and a sprinkle of white pepper on the nose. The palate is dense, intense, elegant with finest, smoothest, silkiest tannins that resemble elastic velvet. This is sinuous and while there is richness, it is absolutely contoured with elegance. It is on the long finish that this white pepper glistens like crystals of snow in the sun. Beautiful.
