The 2008 Dreadnought opens up to aromas of white pepper, star anise and blueberries with hints of wild game and a subtle floral fragrance. The palate has a mineral vibrancy which holds the firm ripe tannins in check. Overall the Dreadnought 2008 has layers of complex characters that unfold as the wine opens up in the glass revealing subtle hints of spice and game, a rich supple palate with the graphite-like tannins typical of 2008 Syrah from Waiheke Island. Sourced from the steepest hillside vineyards, the Syrah for the Dreadnought was hand harvested, destemmed without crushing and fermented in small open top fermenters, plunged twice per day. Following an average of 3 weeks on skins the wines were gently pressed to oak barrels for Malolactic fermentation. Each parcel of fruit was kept separate in the winery until the final blending sessions after 15 months in oak.
*What the critics think*
“Has an introspective nose, more dried herb characters: bay leaf and thyme all with excellent definition and a hint of peppermint developing. The palate is medium-bodied, firm tannins, again quite introspective with that dried herb character coming through. A dash of white pepper on the poised finish that displays fine tannins and great focus. Moderate length. Coy - but give this time to unfurl.” NEAL MARTIN - ROBERT PARKER THE WINE ADVOCATE - SEPTEMBER 2009
“Stunning wine with a heady perfume that includes lovely floral notes. Very elegant red with ripe berry fruit flavours interwoven with Oriental spices. It has a great texture and extraordinary power.” Rating 94 POINTS, BOB CAMPBELL MW - February 2010
