Esk Valley Syrah 2014
The beautifully situated seaside cellars of Esk Valley make an essential pilgrimage for anyone interested in Hawke’s Bay wine. The ’14 Syrah is scented with dark berry, pepper and licorice aromas, and it has intense fruit in the mouth, but slightly tough tannins keep it from easy drinkability in its youth. Keep it a year or two to see it soften and build in bottle.
