Chris Ringland, Randall's Hill Shiraz other_regions_italy intense and beautifully vibrant mediumThe 2013 Randall's Hill Shiraz was bottled a year ago and is scheduled for release in 2019. Made up of selected rows of vines planted in 1910 and five rows of young vines (planted in 1999), it's what Ringland calls his "more fruit forward" wine (after more than four years in barrel). Loaded with peppery spice, floral notes, vanilla, mint and chocolate, it's full bodied and rich, with a tremendously long, velvety finish.
