Joe Czerwinski
The emphasis at Hickinbotham is on Bordeaux varieties, but the Shiraz is a sleeper - and well priced for the quality. The 2018 Brooks Road Shiraz includes 10% whole clusters and was matured in 30% new French oak. There was one new foudre, while the rest of the wine aged in 300-liter hogsheads. The nose is marked by scents of raspberries and vanilla, with some floral, herbal notes and hints of barrel char. In the mouth, it`s medium to full-bodied and mouthwatering, with a long, silky-textured finish. A completely satisfying drink, it`s rich without being at all over the top. 92 points
