Salo
Hawkes Bay Syrah
Hawkes Bay, North Island, New Zealand
Comparing 2 cool climate syrahs. Firstly the Salo from Hawkes Bay New Zealand made by Steve Flamsteed of Giant Steps fame. Peppercorns and spices on the nose with a ferrous note. On the medium weight palate it’s all about the pepper and spice. Love the style. We visited Hawkes Bay a few years ago and loved the Syrahs particularly the Trinity Homage. The Salo to be critical of what is a pretty good wine could do with a little more fruit.

So very pretty, bright, perfumed fruit, showing classic whole berry and whole bunch characteristics... Yes, yes, yes
