Chris Ringland Hoffman Vineyard Shiraz 2010

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Hoffman Vineyard Shiraz possesses an extraordinary nose of cassis, crushed blackberries, earth, Bovril and yeast extract with licorice, spice box and dried herbs hints. Full-bodied, rich and densely packed, with a lovely backbone of ripe tannins and great freshness, the long finish here is just incredible. A true wow wine, this complex beauty certainly has the potential to hit perfection with a little more time in bottle. Drink Date: 2016-2035. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW,robertparker.com,Oct. 28, 2016)
