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.

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.
