Standish The Relic Shiraz 2018
DOZEN: $1,458.00 or $121.50 each
Despite being only 2% Viognier, in its current state, Standish's 2018 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier shows prominent notes of stone fruit and spice, plus the blackberries and blueberries of the Shiraz. Full-bodied, lush and creamy-textured, with a long, silky finish, this beauty should drink well for a couple of decades after its release next year. (99) THE WINE ADVOCATE
Apricot, vanilla bean and white flowers, ripe blueberry, blackberry pie with a spicy crust. It's silky, juicy, layers of silky and silty tannin, gentle but persistent and maybe even insistent. Succulence and perfume, something of a grilled steak flavour, freshness and density, and sweet sweet length. It's a warm fruit pie of a wine, but keeps itself so well controlled. It's very hard not to be impressed. (96) GARY WALSH, The Wine Front
