Tasting notes: The Dreadnought 2009 has layers of complex, vibrant characters that unfold as the wine opens revealing subtle hints of spice and game. A rich supple palate with graphite-like tannins make this wine stand out from the crowd.
Tasting notes: Intense aromas of blueberry and sweet spice intricate well with a nicely balanced palate of succulent fruit and vibrant spiced acidity. Linear tannins lead to a dark chocolate, mocha finish. This is an elegant cold climate style Syrah that is fast becoming a bit of a New Zealand speciality.
