Smith & Sheth Cru Heretaunga Syrah 2022

Marlborough, New Zealand

5 stars / 94pts 

Juicy ripe red & blackberry fruit melds with savoury pancetta, cured ham, and dried thyme, underpinned by subtle cedar and toast. Medium-bodied, the palate is light and fresh, with crunchy red fruit and a precise mineral line reminiscent of wet stone. Fine, dusty tannins, fruit-forward yet refined, with layers of complexity and minerality that linger on the close. Elegant, complex, and beautifully balanced. Drink now - 2030+.
