2004 Torbreck Run Rig Shiraz
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Friday, March 21, 2008
Drank blind. Inky, alcoholic and dark. I guess Sine Qua Non because it is obviously stylish. Someone else guesses Aussie Shiraz (right). Licorice, several flavors like jolly rancher candy (watermelon, grape), hard, slamming and hot, huge enormous almost cloying finish. Parker gave this 1000 points (actually, he gave it only 99, but felt like 100). Great sweet juice. Fans of huge wine will go nuts. Retail $200.

Michael Zimberg has intuition when it comes to wine. Somehow, some way, he is able to spot the best deals and the best food and wine pairings. Mikey's wife, Jill, attributes it to a naturally well-defined sense of taste and smell, combined with a healthy dose of experience. Whatever it is, his reviews shouldn't be missed.
