94/100 | Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review
14th Best Winery in NZ - 2022. The Real Review selected the top 159 wineries in New Zealand after tasting over 10,000 wines, with Radburnd Cellars ranked as 14th. A huge achievement.
There are few more respected people in the Hawke’s Bay wine industry than Kate Radburnd. Her long tenure running Pask and numerous governance and judging roles within the industry have created a legacy that she should be extremely proud of. Now her days are spent on Radburnd Cellars - a no expense spared attempt to make the very best wines of her career and this, her second release under this eponymous label, is an elegant, refined take on modern Hawke's Bay Syrah.
This is tightly woven wine with very attractive, floral aromatics in the feminine form and a palate that brings layers of dark red fruits with hints of anise and spice. Lovers of fine Hawke's Bay Syrah will immediately recognise the underlying power this wine shows in its youth, and the silken tannin structure and incredibly long finish promises much for those with the patience to lay some down. A style rich with intensity of flavour and complexity. The palate boasts dark plum and blackberry with undertones of dark chocolate and a peppery spice. It has clearly been made to age gracefully and we would love to revisit this 2021 release in 5 years time when it has fully blossomed and unveiled its secrets.
We would advise decanting if opening a bottle in the next 2-3 years to bring out the detail on the palate.

Tasting Notes
The winery writes "A supple, richly textured Syrah which has a base of black fruited berries and sweet fruit fragrance. Ripe Syrah is plush and mouthfilling and the subtle fine grained French oak provides underlying poise and aids structural integrity to this fine wine. A combination of purity of fruit and restrained elegance which will unfold beautifully with age."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "It's perfumed and irresistibly seductive on the nose, showing Black Doris plum, violet, warm spice and cedar aromas. The palate offers magnificent depth together with a seamless mouthfeel, beautifully framed by silky texture and finely melded tannins. This is totally captivating, with awesome fruit purity combined with enticing complexity, making it mesmerising and majestic."
