This top New Zealand Syrah starts with lifted, floral peach and apricot notes, followed by a freight train of blackberries. The lush fruit persists on the palate, ending in a slow swell of ripe tannins. A triumph for winemakers-owners Warren Gibson and Lorraine Leheny. Drink now–2015. Imported by Sauvage Selections.

Bilancia is the private label of Warren Gibson, winemaker for Trinity Hill, and his partner, Lorraine Leheny. The 2008 Syrah-Viognier is a medium-bodied, crisp but very pretty wine, featuring maraschino cherries and citrus blossoms, with just a fine thread of tannin on the finish.

With no La Collina bottling in 2003, all the best fruit is in this single bottling—and the quality shines. Lovely pepper and berry scents pick up a touch of meaty complexity. Smooth and richly textured, with clean blackberry flavors that end in supple tannins. Imported by Sauvage Selections.
