I have yet to taste Syrah from New Zealand, but if the Kiwis bring the same quality to the table that they have been for Pinot Noir, I’d love to try it. Wine writer Jamie Goode has just returned from a taste-a-thon in New Zealand and shares his excitement on a grape with only 300ha of plantings. Plus, I like how he says Syrah.
I think they had two at the last NZ in Vancouver which I remmeber tasting one of it was pretty good, Good amount of Mochaness I remember I did enjoy it, It was Elephant Island, hawks bay I think they are suppose to be at the playhouse [dont know if they are bringing the syrah]
