Watermark Herringbone Hawke’s Bay Syrah 2017$28

Stop. Look left. Look right. Look over your shoulder and make sure no one is watching you sip and grin because they’re going to want a piece of the action and believe me – you will be wanting to keep this puppy all to yourself! We have been waiting, I kid you not, for four years (!) to taste a new vintage of this cracker of a wine. The wait was worth it, oh was it worth it. Intense pepper and exotic florals on the nose merge with vanilla-saturated plum, cherry and boysenberry bootyliciousness – plump tannins and smooth succulence round out the finish. I love this wine!!!
