Michael Cooper 4 Star Award
“The distinctive 2018 vintage ( 4 stars ****) is based principally on Syrah, blended with minor portions of Petit Verdot and Tannat. Full-coloured, it is vibrantly fruity and smooth, with strong, youthful plum and spice flavours, a hint of tamarillo, a gentle seasoning of oak, and plenty of drink-young appeal.”

Waiheke Island Syrah Silver Medal Wine Award – Eventide Vineyard: The Real Review
“Syrah with a modest addition of petit syrah and tannat. Rich, smooth-textured red with dark berry, plum dried herb, spice anise and vanilla flavours. An appealing and accessible wine with obvious cellaring potential”

Eventide Syrah 2018, Waiheke Island 5 Star Award: Raymond Chan Wines
Deep, ruby-red with bright transparency, slightly lighter edged. The nose is fresh, gently filling the glass with aromas of red berries, boysenberries, entwined with vanilla, spices and meaty notes underlay. Medium-full bodied, the palate is elegantly presented, succulent red berries, boysenberries are fresh, enriched by subtle earth, meaty notes, along with an amalgam of spices, black pepper and vanilla. The crunchy acidity provides freshness and vitality, integrated with oak elements, lighten up the fine-grained, silky tannin extraction. Vibrant and succulent fruit is the star of the show, leaves a moreish and attractive impression. This is an elegant Syrah with vibrant berry fruit, well-proportioned meaty and spice elements on a silky tannin palate. Match with lamb chops and charred beef kabab over the next 3-4 years. 18.5/20 pts Oct 2020
