Overview:
The Cable Bay 2020 Waiheke Island Syrah is an exquisite expression of Waiheke Island's unique terroir. Made from low-yielding 23-year-old vines, this wine balances opulence and delicacy with remarkable depth and complexity. Aged in French oak puncheons and barriques, it offers an exceptional combination of rich fruit, nuanced spice, and a sophisticated tannin structure. This Syrah reflects the ideal growing conditions of the 2020 vintage and promises to age gracefully over time.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of sweet blackberry pie, black cherry, baking spice, earthy roast beetroot, and lavender create an expressive and inviting bouquet. The palate is velvety, with a harmonious interplay of juicy fruit, spice, and a sculpted tannin structure. Cassis, black doris plum, and pepper add complexity, while the wine's opulent texture and balanced acidity provide great length. Even in its youth, this Syrah is well-integrated, showcasing both intensity and finesse, offering a beautiful reflection of the 2020 season.
