Description
The 2006 Gregor Shiraz is made from fruit dried on trays in the style of Amarone. More deeply colored than the above two wines, it has a liqueur, Port-like character to its aromas and flavors although it is dry. Notes of licorice and chocolate as well as assorted black fruits make an appearance on the palate. Layered, balanced, and long, this unique effort will continue to blossom with several more years of cellaring and offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2026. Hobbs of Barossa Ranges has vineyards contiguous with Chris Ringland’s Three Rivers Vineyard. Ringland is employed by the winery as a consultant. The 2006 releases fall considerably short of the standards set by the 2005s even though they are all outstanding wines.
