This is big Barossa energy. The 2013 Hoffmann Vineyard Shiraz is the flagship collaboration between Ringland and the Hoffmann family, and it shows; dense, dark, and unapologetically rich. Sourced from seriously old vines (some over 100 years), it’s aged more than five years in new French oak, with only the best barrels making the final cut.

Expect deep aromas of blackberry, mulberry, roasted meat, and exotic spices, layered with tar, soy, and a firm oak backbone. On the palate, it’s plush, powerful, and smooth as silk, with velvety tannins and serious aging potential.

A true “essence & spirit of Shiraz” kind of wine; decadent, bold, and built to last. It seats among the best Shiraz I have ever tasted. Cheers! — 4 months ago

Boys weekend in Detroit.
A very lifted expression of burgundy. So much focus and separation on the mid palate. Waxy lemons define the texture on the palate, which then combine with white fruits. Superb length on the finish. Moderate acidity and delicate sweetness bring home a wonderful experience from start to finish.
Even better on day two. — 17 days ago

Different, serious, less of a structured discussion and more of a Hunter S. Thomson missive. Paired well with salted raw corn. — 3 months ago

A gentleman told me that he and I would always be friends. We shared a plate of cherries and drank this wine while watching a sunrise. I never saw him again. — 3 months ago

I will but every bottle of Bize I am offered. Chisa has such a beautiful touch of finesse and ethereal character in her wines. — 6 months ago
