Torbreck Shiraz RunRig 2016  - First Bottle

Reviews

100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
A blend of 98% Shiraz and 2% Viognier made just prior to bottling, the 2016 RunRig is a complete masterpiece. It kicks off with elegant notes of pencil shavings accenting blueberries and blackberries on the nose, then shows incredible, palate-staining intensity of fruit in the mouth. It's full-bodied, plush and velvety without being unstructured and manages to be fruit-forward yet savory on the long-lasting finish, where it picks up hints of mocha and black olives. This should be drinkable with pleasure throughout its entire two-decade life (it may live longer from cold cellars or in larger formats), but if I were lucky enough to have a bottle or two, I'd try the first one about 10 years out. Scheduled for June 2019 release.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
As Robert Parker's Wine Advocate puts it, "the 2016 RunRig is a complete masterpiece." One of our very favorite wines from Australia, Run Rig, while full-bodied and large-scaled, always has a sense of balance and minerality that you don't always find in this category of Aussie wines. Only 12 bottles up for grabs!
