A core of dark cherry and brighter red berry fruit is overlaid with beautifully fragrant aromas of thyme, violets, clove and anise, supported by subtle oak toast and an underlying savouriness. On the palate the wine is full bodied but fine textured with a gentle tannin structure a balanced acidity bringing length and freshness. Well matched to a wide range of full flavoured game and red meat dishes. Hawke’s Bay Syrah ages very gracefully, and we expect this wine to develop positively for 10 years or more from vintage date.

The Redstone Vineyard in the Bridge Pa Triangle Winegrowing District is situated on a free draining alluvial gravel soil, an old riverbed laid down by the Ngaruroro river some 10,000 years ago, since covered by a shallow layer of wind-blown loess containing a portion of iron rich volcanic ash. Iron oxide from this topsoil has rust stained the gravels and the soils are known locally as ‘red metals’ for this appearance. Similar to the neighbouring Gimblett Gravels district, low water holding capacity restricts vine vigour, resulting in small crops of intensely flavoured fruit, though at Redstone, the shallow iron rich top soils take the wines into a more aromatic, supple and fleshy spectrum. The area is only 30m above sea level, but far enough inland to be relatively well protected from the sea breeze, the vineyard is also sheltered from cold air draining out of the ranges by Roys Hill, and this is our warmest, earliest ripening vineyard, ideally suited to red winegrowing. This is our first release of a Church Road 1 Redstone Syrah.

The 2018 growing season was one of the warmest on record and has produced ripe wines with supple tannins and beautiful fragrance. Some rainfall over the harvest period made careful fruit selection vital for the top wines. Clones were Chave, 470 and mass selection Syrah and trained to two cane VSP. Rigorous crop thinning, shoulder removal, hand bunch placement and intensive canopy management were employed to ensure the best possible fruit quality. Approaching harvest time, we visit the block every two or three days, tasting, evaluating flavour and ripeness and checking for condition with one eye fixed firmly on the weather forecast to ensure harvest is planned at the optimum moment.

Selectively harvested separately, the fruit was then destemmed and crushed and immediately inoculated with a selected yeast strain. Fermentation was allowed to peak at 34 deg C ensuring good extraction of colour and ripe tannin. The wines were allowed to undergo post fermentation maceration for a total time on skins of three weeks. During this time regular aeration was employed to stabilise colour, integrate the tannin and open up fruit aromatics. The wine was then drained and pressed before filling to new (36%) and older tight grained, three year seasoned oak barriques, to complete malolactic fermentation and subsequent maturation for 18 months. A small proportion of the older oak (7%) was Hungarian while the balance was French. The wine was bottled unfined and without cold stabilisation or filtration.

The only MagSafe charger you’ll ever need..!!
Color: Black
Yet another AWESOME charger from Anker..!! Unlike cheaper MagSafe chargers, this one almost reaches out and grabs your phone when you’re attaching it for charging.. Holds your phone securely for bedside mode at night and there’s no need for a 25W charger that’s more expensive.. Just a perfect size and works well… looks no further…. This is the bedside charger to get..!!

Actual, honest-to-goodness fast charging
Color: Black
After unsuccessfully buying two different so-called "fast" chargers that completely lied about their charging ability, specifically for the Apple watch, I finally bought this one. What a world of difference! I have an Apple watch ultra, which is fantastic on battery life, and I appreciate that I can actually wear it while I sleep. I have to charge it about every day and a half, which means that sometimes I need to top it up while I'm at work. (Alternatively, I could be a slave about charging it every day at home, but part of the reason I switched to the Ultra is to not have to be that obsessive about charging.) Anyway, I needed a good charger at work. I ordered one that claimed to be 5W watch charging, and it blatantly lied. It took over an hour to get about 20% of a charge. I ordered another, similar results. This one is night and day different. My watch will fully charge at the posted speeds Apple boasts about with fast chargers. If it's running a little low during the day, I can pop it on the charger for 20-30 minutes and have enough juice to last through my hour+ swim workout, no problem. The phone charger is fast, too, and if you use a magsafe case, it has a very firm hold. Without a magsafe case, your phone may drop off the charger (mine did), which is frustrating. Since I have another magsafe charger at home, I just bought a new case (they're cheap) and now I'm super happy with this. The contact charger on the back will work to charge your phone (or a second phone) or earbuds, too. Very happy with this purchase. It's a bit pricier than the cheapo other brands, but it actually freaking works and charges quickly. It's worth the money.

Secure Mount With Premium Feel
This phone mount feels incredibly sturdy once installed. No shaking or movement while driving, even on rough roads. The design looks clean and factory installed instead of bulky like a lot of other mounts. It holds the phone securely and keeps it easy to access for navigation.

Solid Product
I was a bit skeptical based on the price ($85 total after taxes) but you can tell that for the price, this thing is sturdy and high quality. Holds solid onto the vent and keeps my iPhone in place. Easy to adjust and move to your liking, also easy to turn 90* and have your phone sideways. Only drawback is that is obstructs the view of the clock on my 4Runner and slightly obstructs my windshield, but I am sure I will get used to it.
