 Blackberry, blueberry and some spice aromas here. Sandalwood and cedar. Full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate and show superb depth of concentration. Yet it’s agile and light-footed. Goes on for minutes. Tight still with illustrious depth and power. 30 months in French oak barrels. 50% new.  (11/2022)

 2019 was a vintage of quality over quantity. Torbreck's premium Shiraz deftly demonstrates the former. A deep crimson color, it opens with heady aromas of concentrated purple and blue fruit framed by cracked pepper, chocolate, menthol and glossy oak. The richly textured palate is supported by powerful, still-youthful tannins. A little alcohol heat and a lot of oak can be felt, but both will subside with more time in the bottle. A special occasion steak wine to hold until at least 2024 and then drink until 2042, at least. *Cellar Selection* (CP)  (12/2022)
