Soho Valentina Waiheke Island Syrah 2015

Description

"This is totally delicious. Powerful aromas of black/blueberry, dark plum, violet and cedar with nuances of cocoa and black pepper on the nose. The palate is concentrated and opulent, while remaining balanced and properly structured, and offers layers of ripe fruit flavours backed by elegant savoury complexity. The wine is fleshy and supple, and finishes superbly long and velvety." Sam Kim Wine Orbit

"Estate-grown at Onetangi, this is a dark, weighty red. Fragrant and full-bodied (14% alc/vol), it has rich, strongly varietal blackberry, plum and spice flavours, showing good complexity, and a lingering finish" Michael Cooper, May 2018

Award winning winemaker James Rowan has created a Waiheke Syrah that is synonymous with opulence, extravagance & femininity. Warm berry fruit & black plums worthy of a decadent Roman Emperor. This voluptuous silhouette offers hints of spice that are bound by toasty oak. A seamless structured palate with a bodice that is receptive & candid. SOHO Rosso… inspired by Valentino, created for lovers of perfection.

A turn of ripe summer stone fruits & fragrant cinnamon spice in the air - broad strokes of clay earth & dark berry compote. Oh, to temptation I turn.
