Score 96/100 · Drink 2002-2017, Robert Parker, Oct 2002
This spectacular Shiraz is fashioned from fruit not deemed good enough for Chris Ringland's famed Three Rivers cuvee. It possesses fabulous concentration as well as a sweet, floral bouquet revealing scents of melted licorice, blackberries, and smoke. Humongous in the mouth, with rich, sweet tannin, and an unreal seamlessness and opulence, this wine must be tasted to be believed. Sadly, there are only 65 cases of this beauty. It will drink well for 12-15 years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
