Description
Jay S Miller: The 2005 Descendant is composed of 92% Shiraz and 8%Viognier which are co-fermented. The fruit is sourced from arelatively young vineyard in Marananga planted with 11-year-oldcuttings from the Run Rig vineyards and aged for 18 months in2.5-year-old French barrels previously used for Run Rig. Opaquepurple, with glass-coating glycerin, it offers up a complex arrayof lavender, violets, blueberry, blackberry, and fresh road tar.Full-bodied, on the palate the wine has great concentration with anoticeable uplift from the Viognier, gobs of spicy black fruits,opulence, and well-concealed tannins which will carry this wine for10-15 years of further evolution. Drink it through 2030.
