I can't believe we got this deal on Craggy Range's Gimblett Gravels Syrah! Our K&L exclusive pricing is almost 50% off the wine's regular price... and look at the huge scores! This wine is from the rockiest parcel of Craggy's Gimblett Gravels Vineyard known as "Block 14." The vines here produce particularly concentrated flavors and rich, powerful wines. This is very much "Old World" Syrah with a dash of more modern fruit purity and polish. The aromatics are violets, toasted spices, cracked peppercorns, black and blue fruits, charred steak and lovely exotic French oak hints. The wine is long and powerful on the palate but has fresh, vibrant acidity and lovely elegance to counterbalance the forward fruit. Flavors echo the nose, long and lingering right through the finely tuned finish. This wine is so intriguing and really develops in the glass, fascinating stuff. The few years in the bottle have only improved this wine and I have no doubt it will drink well for another 10 years into the future. This is a one-time only deal not to be missed from one of New Zealand's premier producers. (Ryan Woodhouse, K&L NZ Wine Buyer)
