Wild Rock Angels Dust Hawkes Bay Syrah 2008
A mixture of Syrah (98%) & Malbec (2%). Vibrant crimson colour with a dark garnet core. Aromas of black cherry, freshly roasted coffee, melted liquorice and black pepper are given added lift via Viognier derived apricot notes - very complex and intense. The palate’s silky texture belies the layers of fine, ripe tannins, providing the depth and framework to unleash waves of dark fruit characters. Vigorously flavoured with a long finish.
Drink within 5 years of vintage. Match with red meat and game dishes.
“Intensely varietal style, with accentuated, spicy aromas. Full-coloured, with mouthfillng body andstrong, vibrant, plum and black pepper flavours. Still very youthful.” Michael Cooper - Winestate Recent Releases – March/April 2010
