Eisenstone SV 902 Hoffmann Vineyard Shiraz (2022) is a bold, fruit-forward Shiraz built on Hoffmann Vineyard fruit. Dense blackberry and plum are layered with baking spice and a hint of cocoa, all supported by a sturdy, integrated tannin backbone. Best enjoyed with decanting now and will reward short cellaring; pairs well with grilled red meats and hearty stews.
Tasting notes:
- Aroma: Blackberries, dark plum, and{x}mulberries combine with black pepper, baking spices, and a note of cocoa.
- Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated; flavors of blackberry and licorice mingle with espresso and dark chocolate; oak spices (vanilla, clove) show subtlety; firm, refined tannins; balanced acidity.
- Finish: Long and peppery, with lingering dark fruit and cacao.
