2020 Torbreck Woodcutter’s Barossa Valley Shiraz
Forget what you thought you heard about Shiraz. If you love full-bodied reds laden with ripe fruit flavors and hints of leather, earth, and tobacco, then this wine is definitely worth a go – and the budget-friendly price makes it all the sweeter.
Hand-harvested and unfined/unfiltered.
- Tasting Notes juicy blueberry, blackberry jam, spiced plum, chai, sage, cardamom, licorice, vanilla
- Variety Syrah
- Region Australia, Barossa Valley
- Volume 750ml
- Alcohol Volume 15%
- Table Talk Syrah, Shiraz? Same thing. While the latter is what the grape goes by in Australia, the former is its name basically everywhere else.
Pete Kight, owner of Torbreck, has long felt a strong commitment to Australia’s Barossa region, as well as its potential for top-quality wines. As of 2008, Kight’s dream finally came to life. For the past 13 years, Torbreck has crafted high-quality wines from estate-grown fruit, focused mostly on the three main varieties of France’s Rhône Valley: Shiraz (Syrah), Grenach, and Mourvèdre.
Torbreck’s wines are crafted with mineral intervention and are built to last for years in the cellar. As their website clearly states, provenance is everything to the estate. Wines from Torbreck are concentrated, fruit forward, and laden with flavor. While beautiful in their youth, these rich and powerful wines are built to withstand the test of time – though we wouldn’t blame you for snagging a few and cracking into one or two now for good measure.

2022 Wonderland Project Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon
Grown high on a west-facing slope above the fog line on the northern ridge of Atlas Peak, this is a true mountain Cabernet. The palate is dense, layered, and impeccably structured, finishing long and refined. It carries the essence of red volcanic soil, wild California chaparral, and sun-drenched hillsides. All we can say is, there’s a reason the The French Laundry picked this gem up.

2022 Robert Biale “Black Chicken” Zinfandel Napa Valley (half-bottle)
Showing the influence of the breezy and fog-laced Oak Knoll District, this wine offers plush fruit with delicate acidity, and a structure defined by well-ripened, fine-grained tannins. Layered notes of blackberry preserves, stewed cherries, ripe plums, raspberries, violet, cocoa, and spiced wood. Persistent and full on the palate, this is an expressive Zinfandel that is drinking beautifully now, but will continue to improve for the next 5-7 years.
Certified sustainable farming practices. Family-owned winery. Dry-farmed vines and hand-harvested.
