RunRig - Torbreck

The RunRig from Torbreck is an excellent red wine cuvée of Shiraz (98.5%) and Viognier (1.5%). 

In the glass, this Australian red wine presents itself in a strong purple red with violet reflections. The complex nose reveals powerful notes of ripe raspberries, crème de cassis and some juicy apricot - underpinned by aromas of black olives, heart cherries and cigar wood box. On the palate, this wine is very complex with a dense concentrated texture. Black berries, dark chocolate and some anise present themselves. The finish is compelling with excellent length and spicy, sweet hints.
