Alpha Domus The Barnstormer HB Syrah 2010 $27 

A sexy, glossy magenta-coloured wine oozing aromas of freshly ground black pepper, roast beef and ripe berryfruit.  It is deliciously silky to drink and boasts fresh blackberry and liquorice flavours with a smoky undercurrent which leads to a long finish complete with clinging, muscular tannins.  A lovely match for venison backstraps or sticky spare-ribs. www.alphadomus.co.nz
