Standish Tasting Notes
The Relic is crafted from a portion of this 98-year old block of dry grown, organically farmed Shiraz that has been fermented on the skins of Viognier for added aromatics and lift.

Wine Advocate
The 2006 Shiraz (97%)-Viognier (3%) The Relic was also sourced from 98-year-old vines with yields of 0.5 tons per acre. It spent 24 months in seasoned French oak. Deep crimson-colored, it offers up a fragrant perfume of smoke, violets, Asian spices, black cherry, and wild blueberry. On the palate this medium-bodied, elegant Shiraz has a silky texture, luscious fruit, and impeccable balance. Give this very lengthy effort 2-3 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2010 to 2018. —Jay Miller, 93 points
