Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 Hanisch Shiraz is profoundly scented of creme de cassis, blackberry preserves, menthol and cloves with hints of cedar, vanilla, cinnamon stick and chocolate. Medium to full bodied, the palate provides a good concentration of taut, muscular ripe berry and baking spice flavors balanced by a medium to firm level of finely grained tannins and crisp acidity. The finish is long with berry, spice and mint layers. It is delicious now though should improve with a couple of years in bottle and drink to 2020+.

The flagship 2006 Shiraz Hanisch ups the ante considerably. Purple/black in color, it exhibits a brooding bouquet of toasty oak, smoke, leather, espresso, wild blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Powerful, layered, and multi-dimensional, this dense, savory Shiraz demands 8-10 years of additional cellaring and will be at its best from 2016 to 2036. Barossa Shiraz does not get much better.The white wines at Rolf Binder Wines are made by Christa Deana, Rolf Binder’s sister.Importer: Michael Opdahl, Joshua Tree Imports, Duarte, CA; tel.

The sensational 2005 Shiraz “Hanisch” was aged in 80% new American oak, the balance in seasoned French. It has a fabulous perfume of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, spice box, truffle, pencil lead, plum, and blueberry. Voluptuous, intensely flavored, and already complex, it will unfold over the next decade and drink well through 2025 for those fortunate enough to track some down.Importer: Michael Opdahl, Joshua Tree Imports, Duarte, CA; www.rolfbinder.com
