Description

Hiro Kusuda is something of an enigma.

This reclusive master winemaker has built his reputation on crafting some of the most exhilarating wines in the Martinborough region.

This is a top example of cool-climate Syrah for those who look for finesse rather than out-and-out power in their Syrah/Shiraz wines.

With each berry picked individually at perfect ripeness by his 50-person-strong vintage crew, only the very best fruit makes it to the final wine from Hiro Kusuda's tiny Martinborough vineyard.

It's sleek, spicy, and meaty in style. A graceful wine with plenty to offer over the next decade.

Review

Taut, youthful syrah with violet, cherry, spice, anise, black and white pepper, and a suggestion of classy French oak. The wine blossomed as it sat in the glass and would clearly benefit from aeration as it would from bottle age. A great syrah in the Kusuda style.
