Tasting Notes: We can’t think of any better way to describe the wines other than to quote Tyson Stelzer, “There’s a focus, a purity, effortlessness and seamless oak harmony here that again elevate Jimmy’s Block high above Mike Press’s fabled ‘Estate’ Shiraz. I adored the inaugural 2018 and, to my knowledge, this is its first successor. Pitch-perfect black fruits and black pepper are framed in intricately fine-grained tannins that carry a finish oh so long. I’m in love. Again.” – Tyson Stelzer
