FIVE STARS 93/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Attractively fruited and elegantly fragrant"
Classic syrah from one of Hawkes Bay's oldest boutique wineries. After six months in oak barrels it has developed enticing savoury flavours – the oak is integrated and seamless. Rich and fragrant with intensity and weight. This wine totally over-delivers.

The winery writes "Youthful in colour, the 2022 back Block Syrah exhibits plum, pepper, ripe tannins, subtle oak, vibrance and complexity. Syrah enjoys growing in heat with free-draining soil, and Ohiti Estate is the perfect site. The Back Block Syrah is a blend of the Mass Selection and 470 Clones, thus adding to the complexity."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Attractively fruited and elegantly fragrant, the bouquet shows apricot, rockmelon, Nashi pear and subtle spice aromas, leading to a succulent palate offering bright fruit flavours with rounded mouthfeel. Well composed and harmonious with a lengthy satisfying finish."
