Elephant Hill 2010 Syrah scores 5 stars
Elephant Hill 2010 Syrah Hawke's Bay 94 Points 5 stars
Elephant Hill has quickly established as a serious Syrah producer. And this is another stunning effort that will only get better with time. It's beautifully perfumed on the nose displaying dark plum, cherry, spice and floral characters with a hint of nutty oak notes. The palate is ripe and generously flavoured with velvety texture and fine, supple tannins. Perfectly harmonised, this refined expression of the variety is quite gorgeous to drink now already. At its best: now to 2016.

Sam Kim Reviews gives 5 stars to Elephant Hill 2009 Le Phant
Elephant Hill Le Phant 2009 Hawke's Bay 93 points 5 stars
What a lovely wine. A blend of Merlot/Cabernet Franc, it's ripe and richly flavoured while showing restraint and structure. The nose is beautifully fragrant, displaying dark plum, cassis, spice and subtle cedary oak characters. It's succulent and smooth, and beautifully defined on the palate with a pleasant dry finish. At its best: now to 2015.
