Craggy Range Syrah Le Sol Gimblett Gravels Vineyard

Very nice Bordeaux blend, but with lovely NZ terroir. Excellent QPR, not sure there is much aging potential past this point.

Nice wine, firm tannins but not overwhelming. Fairly dry for being 66% merlot. Overall a nice blend. Would buy it again

This is a good expression of #bordeauxstyle blend with mostly #merlot and #cabernetfranc Cool climate showcases bright fruits and a lean style. Upfront tannins, juicy acidity plummy nose and a spicy finish. Drinking well now

Smooth, supple & sexy – really enjoyed this light red blend. Blind tasting, we overwhelmingly guessed this to be a Bordeaux! After a 30-minute decant, the bouquet delivers plums, currants, mint, smoke, dried herbs, tobacco & traces of oak – but classy oak. Not much depth or complexity here … but it exudes elegance & charm - more terroir driven than fruit. Expect a medium bodied dry red with integrated & silky tannins. Drink now.

Pleasantly surprised by this. Black fruits, hint of mocha, medium bodied though becoming more tannic as it opened up. Chewy was impressed.

thought it was a little hollow, but that could be because I have been drinking bigger reds. it was still enjoyable but should have drunk it 12 months back I think

a nice lighter style nz red. think it may be near its best, so will try another over the next couple of weeks
