Hobbs of Barossa Ranges Shiraz Viognier - 2012 (750ml) Size:750ml and a hint of cedarDeep garnet purple colored, the 2012 Tango Shiraz Viognier (containing 4% Viognier) has a beautiful nose of wild blueberries and blackcurrants over nuances of aniseed, roses, dark chocolate, lavender, cloves and aged meat. Very big, full bodied and buxom on the palate, the densely packed fruit flavors have lovely freshness and vitality, framed by fine grained tannins and finishing with great length.
