Critics Scores
Wine Spectator
Juicy and vibrant up front, balancing power and elegance, this offers a precise mix of gingerbread, orange peel, date and black walnut notes that segue seamlessly into chocolate-covered dried blueberry and blackberry flavors. Everything comes together with tremendous grace and harmony on the long, epic finish. The polished tannins never get in the way. Shiraz. Drink now through 2028.
Wine Enthusiast
From elevated, low yielding old vines in stony soil, The Factor is often one of Torbreck’s broodiest wines in its youth, but this vintage, with a touch of bottle age, shows how quickly it morphs into a thing of expressive beauty. A complex nose starts with roast veg, olive tapenade and sanguine, mineral notes, but with time in the glass it reveals more plum, cherry fruit and mocha. Tannins are ultrafine and powdery, the earthy-mineralsanguine character flowing all the way to finish and providing a nice balance to the silky fruit. Rich and plush but with depth, complexity and ageability. Drink 2022–2035.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I'm a sucker for the complex floral and savory aromas on the nose of Torbreck's 2015 The Factor. It's 100 Shiraz aged in predominantly older oak and features notes of violets, hickory smoke, mint, blueberries and mocha. It's full-bodied but structured, with firm tannins and acids that give the palate shape and length. While nearly approachable now, it should age well for over a decade.
