Te Awanga The Loom Reserve Syrah 2019
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
91 POINTS | Bob Campbell MW
The Loom is celebrated winemaker Rod McDonald's best of vintage Syrah from the coastal Te Awanga estate block. It is a textbook premium Hawke’s Bay Syrah with violets and lifted pepper spice on the nose; plum, blueberry and earthiness with soft, supple tannins on the palate - all super concentrated with good depth of flavour. Given the rising price of good New Zealand Syrah in the local market, this plush wine is very good value - especially so given Rod's international reputation with Syrah. Enjoy over the coming 8 years.

Tasting Notes
The winery writes "A typical Hawke’s Bay Syrah with violets, lifted spice and dried herbs on the nose. On the palate, it’s medium weight with great concentration and texture and a little tightness which promises a long life and gathering complexity. Dark plum, spice and earthy characters all layer across soft, supple tannin and balanced acidity."
Michael Cooper writes "From young vines on a north-facing slope near the coast, the 2019 vintage (4.5*) was hand-picked and matured for 16 months in French oak barriques (40 per cent new). Full-coloured, with a fragrant, slightly earthy bouquet, it is mouthfilling, with blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, showing good density and vigour, supple tannins and a long finish. A powerful young red, it's well worth cellaring to 2023+"
Bob Campbell writes "Fresh, vibrant Syrah from a favourable vintage with dark berry, raspberry, blueberry, wood-smoke, spice and nutty oak flavours. A supple, elegant wine with appealing fragrance"
