Chris Ringland Three Rivers Shiraz 1996 offers a complex profile that reflects its Barossa Valley origins. The wine showcases dark fruit notes, complemented by a subtle spice and earthy undertones. The tannins exhibit a firm structure, indicating its potential for further ageing. Chris Ringland, a renowned Australian winemaker, is noted for his meticulous approach, crafting wines from carefully selected vineyards. The 1996 vintage is part of a limited production, drawing attention for its focused expression of Shiraz and the unique terroir of the region.
98 Robert Parker
The 1996 Chris Ringland (formerly Three Rivers) Shiraz (now known as ‘Chris Ringland Shiraz’ due to a name dispute), has a very deep garnet-black color with intensely spicy aromas - plenty of vanilla, cinnamon and licorice – over a core of chocolate, kirsch, prunes and a whiff of dusty earth. Bacon fat and coffee notes emerge after a few minutes. Big, rich and buxom (15.3% alcohol) in the mouth with plenty of crisp acid and firm very fine tannins to support, it finishes long with layers of spice, dried plums and mocha. It’s still very youthful with many innings left. Drink it now to 2020+.
