Matured in a mix of French and American oak, Hope Estate's 2015 The Ripper Shiraz features plenty of cedar, nutmeg and mocha characters. Fortunately, it backs those up with juicy, mouthwatering blackberries and mulberries. It's medium to full-bodied, with supple tannins that turn silky and crisp on the finish.

Dense, espresso-laced blackberry flavors are rich and thick, with plenty of traction from the tannins and a spicy finish. Drink now through 2027. 5,000 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Western Australia Select to Add

Scents of charred meat and grilled plum emanate from the 2014 The Ripper Shiraz, a sturdy, medium to full-bodied wine that's grown in Western Australia but made back east in the Hunter Valley. Bold plum and blackberry notes dominate the palate, although ripe tannins give it a savory note, and that sense of caramelized fruit and flesh lingers on the velvety finish.

The espresso-scented dark fruit flavors have a touch of violet, with nubby tannins and plenty of spice and black tea details on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 5,000 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Western Australia Select to Add
