Hawkes Bay
New Zealand's second largest region by plantings, with 4,500 hectares (or 20 percent of the country's total) in 2006, Hawkes Bay continues to fine-tune its Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon/Franc Bordeaux blends, offering some fine, fresh, pencil-shaving-nuanced examples, particularly from the Te Mata Estate. The more recent success story seems to be that of Syrah, in a cool, black pepper Northern Rhône style.
