4.5 STARS 90/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Alpha Domus has a well won reputation for crafting fine Hawkes Bay wines and this excellent release from their new 'Collection' series is a study in affordable quality. The Collection Syrah is the classic sub$20 Hawkes Bay red. If spicy middleweight Syrah is your thing get on board and grab a case now.
Bright, aromatic with vibrant floral aromas of violet, cherries and spice. The fresh palate of ripe red berries coupled with black cherry and olive, soft tannins that have a seam of toasted spice make this a moreish wine. An attractive package that delivers full flavour with silken texture. Easy to like and even easier to put with your favourite vegetable and pasta dishes, lamb, or game meats.
Sam Kim writes "Elegantly styled and charming, the fragrant bouquet shows dark cherry, sweet plum, mixed spice, thyme and toasted almond characters with appealing savoury nuances. It's plump and succulent on the palate with gentle weight and supple texture, beautifully framed by polished tannins, finishing long and comforting."
