Like a ballerina

the 2018 Chardonnay Horseshoe Vineyard is positively stunning

spice-tinged cherry and blackberry scents are brightened by suggestions of smoky minerals and pungent flowers

the palate is layered and intense

The middle weight flavors are not as concentrated but they’re finer and more mineralinflected while delivering good length on the bone dry and linear finish

Rolf Binder, Hanisch Shiraz other_regions_italy Like a ballerinaFull medium ruby. Complex, expressive aromas of raspberry, violet, gunflint, iron and mocha. Then superripe, dense and chewy, with notes of maple syrup, salt and pepper. A sweet, broad wine with a slightly aggressive back end. A rather successful example of the thick, saline style of Australian shiraz. Stephen Tanzer
