Torbreck Descendant 2020 Review
This Australian wine harkens back to the Northern Rhône's tradition of co-fermenting some Viognier with Syrah grapes. Torbreck hit the style on the head, making a beautifully aromatic and complex wine. This wine has a deep meaty nose with hints of herbs, berries, and cinnamon. The palate is concentrated with notes of roasted fruit and some smoke.
