2009 Tobin Max Shiraz

2009 Tobin Max Shiraz

$35

Bottle number 511 of 1800
Granite Belt

This is one of the best wines to come out of the Granite Belt. Adrian Tobin made a 'vine change' during a successful career in accountancy. He is passionate about everything in his vineyard and it flows through into the every bottle.

Thick red colour and a delicate raspberry nose. Almonds, fresh herbs and a little cream too.

Jammy raspberries, grassy herbs and an earthy undertone makes for an interesting and moderately complex wine. Soft tannins and a long focussed finish.

80 points

      Hi Emma, Glad you liked it. If you get down to Stanthorpe, make sure you drop in to the cellar door and see Adrian for a chat. He also hosts his stall at the Good Food and Wine show each year. Great bloke!
