[SOLD-OUT] Torbreck Run Rig Shiraz 2014

Lisa Perotti-Brown MW 97+ points!

“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Run Rig opens with a bang, delivering intense fruits of the forest and blackberry preserve notes with hints of sandalwood, cardamom, dried Provence herbs, Indian spices and garrigue. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and oh, so satisfying, the beauty ticks all the great Barossa Shiraz boxes and then some. It is still relatively primary, so I’d recommend giving it another 2-3 years at least in bottle and drink it over the next 20+.”

“This is ground breaking RunRig. It is not as showy, nor as theatrical as some of the past vintages. It is, in fact, quite the opposite. It is presidential (in the old sense of the word), profound, considered and complete. This might seem odd that RunRig is not screaming and shouting at you from the glass but there is simply no need when the aroma and flavour is this good.”

Matthew Jukes, May 2017

The emphasis not on any one farm, but rather the communal element of the whole. Shiraz from old dry grown vineyards is blended with Viognier, complementing the strengths and complexities of these individual parcels of fruit, whilst giving the resulting wine a further dimension. The RunRig has often drawn comparison with the beautifully fragrant & tautly structured wines produced from the steep slopes of the Northern Rhône Valley’s Appellation of Côte Rôtie.


Intense, lifted aromatics are released as soon as the wine is opened; dense cherry plum and hints of lavender all come to the fore with an underlying opulent fruit profile of black olive, cassis and plum. A silky palate with deep red cherry fruits, clove & licorice all interwoven with hints of sweet spice and cinnamon. The layers and diverse fruit characters continue to evolve in the glass with anise, hints of earth, blackberry and pepper all becoming more persistent in the finish. A silky, aromatic RunRig 2014 will certainly reward those with patience
