Hobbs Winery, Shiraz--Vintage 2001
Barossa Valley
In four three-bottle original wooden cases
"From a 91-year-old vineyard in a cool sector of the Barossa, this fabulous Shiraz was made by Chris Ringland for proprietor Greg Hobbs. After spending two years in both new and old French hogsheads, it offers a cool climate, peppery nose revealing scents of flowers, and red as well as black currants, superb concentration, an enticing texture, and great delineation. With 15 alcohol, it is a spectacular effort from this up-and-coming producer that should drink well for 10-12 years. I'm glad to give it high marks as Greg Hobbs is a retired member of Adelaide's SWAT team." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #155 (Oct 2004)
