2003 Chris Ringland Shiraz Dry Grown Barossa Rangesmore |
4/20/2024 - etyc Likes this wine: NRWow, this sure brought back memories where/when some of us started our "wine-journey" with Australian wines, namely Shiraz... 3 Rivers, Greenock Creek Roennfeldt Road etc... Was told this used to be 3 Rivers, until a trademark dispute forced Ringland to change it. Despite 21-yrs on it, this still seemed stuck at less than 5-8yrs of age. Layers after layers of "thick" fruits - plums, black currants enveloped in a liqueur'ish texture, this was all about power, density, depth, but delivered in a balanced manner without any singular component "poking out". Regardless, this is a wine where 1-2 glasses should pretty much suffice... and I must certainly add that it went extremely well with BBQ/roasted meats! |

4/15/2024 - wineappellation wrote: 97 pointsTasted blind. From first stiff blind you could nail it to the top 5 best Barossa Shiraz it was, with all the classic pronounced aroma that screaming out of glass. You name the flavours you can think of for a top Barossa Shiraz. So deep with a never ending finish. But didn’t realise it was dry grown for its impeccable balance! Tasted like 15% only. |

1/13/2024 - MC2 Wines wrote: NRTimuquana BYO (TCC): Just a lot. This wine is a lot of fruit and a lot of alcohol and a lot of flavor. It’s been open for some time but feels like it could have used even more time. Lots going on. |

2015 Chris Ringland Shiraz DimchurchBarossa Valley more |
1/13/2024 - MC2 Wines Likes this wine: NRTimuquana BYO (TCC): Just made it to the US in December so one of the first tastings of it. This is quite a young wine and at this point you can still get a bit more of the oak treatment in it. Mostly just seems to need time - more time in the air, more time in the bottle, and more time to get to a more settled place. Quite a lot going on. This is a wine made for the long haul. A wedding year wine where you know that you could drink this through the 50th anniversary and it would still be going. |

1/13/2024 - MC2 Wines wrote: NRTimuquana BYO (TCC): Again quite a lot of fruit and intensity in this wine. Bigger fruits in style. Just a hint of spice and a bit more than I got in the ‘14 or the ‘09. Needs some more time like the others. |

2009 Chris Ringland Shiraz DimchurchBarossa Valley more |
1/13/2024 - MC2 Wines wrote: NRTimuquana BYO (TCC): Interesting to try wines from the same area across different years. At times I’ve heard it said that Argentina doesn’t really have changes based on the vintage and I wonder how similar that is for Australia as well. We had this next to the 2015, 2014 and 2012. You can tell there’s some difference coming from the bottle age and this was probably the wine that was the most resolved in that way. 36-40 months in new oak and then another few years in bottle as well. This one is just starting to soften. |

2014 Chris Ringland Shiraz DimchurchBarossa Valley more |
1/13/2024 - MC2 Wines wrote: NRTimuquana BYO (TCC): Drank side by side with the Randall’s Hill. Cousins of wine it seems. This is more fruit, less spice, lots of darkness. There’s a lot of intensity to this wine. I would recommend quite a bit more time and probably quite a long decant even with that. It’s got a lot of life to it. |

2014 Chris Ringland Shiraz Randall's HillBarossa Range more |
1/13/2024 - MC2 Wines Likes this wine: NRTimuquana BYO (TCC): A second wine of sorts for Chris made from the grapes on his property and used in the years where he doesn’t believe they are worthy of being the top wine but he still thinks he can do something interesting with them. My favorite of the wines that we tasted. This is still dark and deep and a bit more complex in style. A wine that needs a lot of time to really come around but I like the stuffing there. Compared to the Dimchurch’s I get a lot more of the pepper and spice notes. Still young and intense right now but by the end of the evening it was drinking actually pretty well. If serving now a long decant (e.g. at least 6 hours) would be recommended. |

1/6/2024 - MC2 Wines Likes this wine: NRWine Bros: A Study of Syrah (Cowford Chophouse): Chris makes wine that is meant to last almost for forever and this is one of those. 25 years young. We opened and decanted and I think might have even Lennar’ed it twice and let it sit in the decanter for a few hours and then poured it right as we got to the restaurant even though it was being served a bit later and still this is clearly a serious, high-octane wine. Drinking pretty well and very well liked around the table. |

12/2/2023 - RockinCabs wrote: 95 pointsCalifornia Wine Weekend; 12/1/2023-12/3/2023 (Mos Eisley Cantina & Waterhouse Restaurant): Dark sweet berry fruit, dried herbs, intense eucalyptus, charcuterie (jamon), black olives, elements of spice. This is exotic to the core and the added ripeness took me away from the normal Aussie producer to someone that pushes the limits a bit. It is incredibly young and tannic still, and the black fruit has a ton of development ahead. |

Deep ruby/purple in the glass, pronounced aromas and flavors, nose of dark fruit bit candied and perfumed, palate is dry and fruit driven, ripe black plum, blackberry, black cherry, cassis, bit of tomato leaf, vanillin, acidity is medium, soft tannins, long finish. Yummy. |
