Mission Estate Hawke’s Bay Syrah 750ml

4 Stars — Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Mission Estate Syrah is a vibrant and approachable Hawke’s Bay red from New Zealand’s oldest surviving winery.

Lifted aromas of dark plum, blueberry and florals combine with classic Syrah notes of black pepper and mixed spice. The fruit-driven palate is medium-bodied and fresh, with a soft texture, fine tannins and a smooth, persistent finish.

Enjoy it with smoked beef, grilled lamb, spicy dishes, pasta or mature cheese. Delicious now, it can also be carefully cellared for two to five years.
