It&#8217;s a style I like a good deal, and which I predict has a very bright future. As is typical for this blog, I&#8217;m not just giving you a tasting note based on a quick slurp and spit, but one based on drinking a good portion of the bottle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sacred Hill Deerstalkers Syrah 2009 Hawkes Bay, New Zealand<br \/>\n<\/strong>This comes from the Gimblett Gravels, and spends 16 months in oak. Fresh and vibrant with a lovely peppery edge to the sleek, ripe cherry and red berry fruit. Aromatic with a superficial sweet oak sheen, but this is carried well by the lovely focused fruit. Quite a grippy structure but it works well with the ripe, somewhat primary fruit. Lovely precision here. A serious wine. 94\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now this is a remarkable New Zealand Syrah, from the famous Gimblett Gravels terroir of Hawkes Bay.
