2006 Chris Ringland Shiraz Dry Grown

Very deep garnet-black in color, the 2006 Shiraz presents gorgeous aromas of cassis, florals, some red fruits, damp earth, sage, charcoal, licorice and a hint of pepper. This 14.6% wine spends 42 months in oak and is a stark contrast to the previous vintage, as it is tight and crisp with medium levels of rounded tannins and shows a little evolution. It finishes long and elegant, with some oolong tea notes coming through. Only 1,300 bottles and 50 magnums were produced. Drink it now to 2024+. Imported by Chris Ringland USA. www.chrisringland.com
