Wine ReviewsHobbs Shiraz 2004 Hobbs Shiraz 2003 Rating: 96 points From the same tiny vineyard as Gregor, this Shiraz has a fresher, livelier style, and it’s a stunner. It’s not a huge wine but a rich, ripe and savory mouthful of smoky, peppery blueberry, plum and fresh cream flavors that just keep lapping against the palate on the ultralong, ultrapolished finish. Absolutely gorgeous stuff, and it’s built to last. Drink now through 2020. Harvey Steiman (Source: Wine Spectator, Harvey Steiman, posted August 9, 2006) Hobbs Shiraz 2001 Rating: 96 points From a 91 year old vineyard in a cool sector of the Barossa, this fabulous Shiraz was made by Chris Ringland for owners Greg and Allison Hobbs. After spending 2 years in both new and old French oak hogsheads, it offers a cool climate, peppery nose revealing scents of flowers, and red as well as black currants, superb concentration, an enticing texture, and great delineation. With 15% alcohol, it is a spectacular effort from this up-and-coming producer that should drink well for 10-12 years. I am glad to give it high marks as Greg Hobbs is a retired member of Adelaide's Swat Team. Robert Parker (Source: Wine Advocate #155 October 2004) |
