2007 Stonyridge Vineyards Pilgrim Syrah (.75liter)

Deep dark purple. Very floral, violet, red and blackberry, chocolate, vanilla. Slight smokey/savoury black pepper notes which add complexity. Nicely balanced palate, clean fresh fruit notes, creamy texture evened out with fine acidity with ripe but robust tannin structure.**** star rated Michael Cooper Buyers Guide to NZ Wines 09
