Lot #754. Torbreck Shiraz Descendant 2005

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 97 WA.
"The 2005 Descendant is composed of 92% Shiraz and 8% Viognier which are co-fermented. The fruit is sourced from a relatively young vineyard in Marananga planted with 11-year-old cuttings from the Run Rig vineyards and aged for 18 months in 2.5-year-old French barrels previously used for Run Rig. Opaque purple, with glass-coating glycerin, it offers up a complex array of lavender, violets, blueberry, blackberry, and fresh road tar. Full-bodied, on the palate the wine has great concentration with a noticeable uplift from the Viognier, gobs of spicy black fruits, opulence, and well-concealed tannins. . ." Wine Advocate #173, Oct 2007
Provenance: The Rivière Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $120
