Beautifully concentrated, top flight Hawke's Bay Syrah from the Elephant Hill team. The Reserves are a special barrel selection that sit between the Estate series and Elephant Hill's super-premium Icons range- and are only released when the conditions are absolutely perfect.
The 2019 Reserve Syrah hails from a wonderful growing season in Hawkes Bay . Now 5 years on from harvest, this stunning, bottle-aged syrah is right in the zone and drinking beautifully, but this wine will blossom with a few years in the cellar also. Tuck a 6 pack away and watch the magic unfold.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "95 pts. A complete bouquet, a complete wine, vibrant and varietal with a bouquet of fresh black currant and barrel spices, roasted red skinned orchard fruits, tobacco and plum, violets and new leather, baking spices and wood smoke. Lovely weight and mouthfeel, dry with a core of fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet, a decent backbone of acidity, firm tannins and lengthy complex finish. What’s not to like! Perfect now and through 2029.+."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "95pts Sweetly fruited and complex, the inviting bouquet shows blackberry, smoked game, toasted spice and roasted hazelnut aromas, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate offering fleshy texture backed by layers of fine tannins, making it sturdy and robust with a sustained velvety finish. Gorgeously stylish and harmonious, with excellent structure and balance. At its best: now to 2031."
