Torbreck, Descendant other_regions This is potentially a monumentThe 2007 Descendant is composed of 92% Shiraz and 8% Viognier sourced from a single vineyard. Super fragrant with a floral lift from the Viognier component, it gives up exotic scents of smoke, bacon fat, Asian spices, and wild blueberry. Voluptuous on the palate with loads of succulent fruit (a rarity in this challenging vintage), it has impeccable balance and 4 6 years of aging potential. It will be at its best from 2013 to 2027.
