Ti Point ‘Matriarch’ Matakana Syrah 2010 $45 
Perfumed and peppery, this wine is both muscular and meat yet feminine and frisky and just like the woman it’s named after I’ll bet it’ll become more beautiful with age. Different layers of flavour unfurl with every minute it’s in the glass – so take your time to enjoy the velvety tannins and lush length of flavour. Just lovely. www.tipoint.co.nz
