CHURCH ROAD TOM SYRAH 2020

Dense yet tightly structured wine, this is the first TOM Syrah to be predominantly from the Gimblett Vineyard. A core of richer plum and berry fruit is lifted by typical violet floral notes along with dark spices and a lick of toasty oak providing cacao, cedar and smoke. 

"Dedicated to Tom McDonald, Patriarch of Church Road and pioneer of Hawke's Bay's quality focused winemaking renascence. TOM is only made in the exceptional vintages. Simply put, these are our best wines. No effort is spared. They represent the culmination of the collective experience and understanding of our team past and present, applied to some of the best parcels of winegrowing land in Hawke's Bay." 
Chris Scott, Chief Winemaker
