Mills Reef Gimblett Gravels Reserve Syrah 2021
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
FULL-BODIED SAVOURY SYRAH FROM TOP VINTAGE!
93/100 | Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
RECOMMENDED | Cuisine Magazine
2021 was an exceptional growing season in Hawke's Bay with grapes from the famed Gimblett Gravels performing especially well. Those ideal conditions are clear to see in this excellent Reserve Syrah from Mills Reef.
Very supple and appealing, this is beautifully poised wine - densely framed with an amalgam of red, black and blue fruits presiding over a palate that shows classic Gimblett Gravels Syrah anise characters and a healthy dollop of oak spice. Vinted in the fresher fruit, brighter style that seems to do so well on the judging circuit at the moment, this is an immediately attractive style that will work especially well with food. Recommended.

Tasting Notes
Bob Campbell MW writes "Concentrated red with plum, dark berry, black pepper, anise and assertive spicy oak flavours supported by drying oak and fruit tannins. While it can be appreciated now the wine shows obvious cellaring potential."
Cuisine Magazine writes "Darkly fruited and youthful with a restrained nose that manages to be complex despite its shy nature. Smoked meat and exotic spices sit alongside the ripe fruit on a weighty, plump palate that is well structured and lengthy."
The winery writes "This delicious Syrah conveys blueberry, black fruits and subtle spice, with hints of white pepper and liquorice, with a lingering finish of toasty oak. Full bodied and imbued with supple integrated tannins makes this wine complex and savoury."
