2009 Coopers Creek Chalk Ridge Hawkes Syrah
2009 Coopers Creek Chalk Ridge Hawkes Syrah

Normally $26. This just scored a massive 93/100 from Bob Campbell ( the same score as wines such as Sacred Hill Deerstalker at $57, Bridge Pa Louis at $55, Man O'War Dreadnought at $46 etc ) The 2008 won the Trophy at the Air NZ Wine Awards for 'Best Syrah' and also scored a 95/100 from Bob - a fantastic consistency for a syrah at this price "Co-fermented with Viognier. Strong, sweet and impressively dense wine with cassis, plum and dark berry flavours. More intense than most from this moderately light vintage. The wine has an impressive texture with an almost chewy density. Great value at this price." Bob Campbell and listed at $28 by him.
This wine is from their Chalk Ridge block, just to the south of Havelock North. It is a steep, north facing amphitheatre that is strewn with fossilised limestone. They only use the ripest fruit from the top of the hill to craft this SV Syrah. A steal
