Torbreck RunRig 2014 750ml

Description

The 2014 RunRig is youthful and fresh, and the oak sits atop the fruit at this stage, with a coffee-ground note that is introduced to the dark berries and spice. This is a wine that should be kept for some more time, should elegance be a character you like, as the wine seems to merge seamlessly in this direction given the time to do so. 2014 was a cooler year, and the alcohol on the label is slightly higher than the analysis reveals. 15.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

Varietal

Syrah

Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet’s most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn’t easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.
