Hobbs 1905 Shiraz 2016 south africa --Dana Cowin

--Dana Cowin

established the estate in 2004 out of love and respect for these old vines

which would make us opt to drink this in its youth rather than to wait too long

Fine integrated tannins buttress characteristic flavors of red currant

although youthful
