Tasting Notes
Ripe, red cherry, even cherry pie with cinnamon, meets vivid sprays of white pepper on the nose. This may be an archetype of Kiwi Syrah - as sumptuous and juicy as possible and yet super-spicy and cool. Sunshine takes the fruit heavenward while undeniable structure is anchored deeply in stony definition. There is some thing languid here, despite the stoniness, a seductive subtext that makes this extremely elegant. Drink by 2045.
