Woodstock McLaren Vale Shiraz Cabernet 2008
|
| |
|
|
61% Shiraz 39% Cabernet Sauvignon.
A Burst of juicy grape flavours showing plums,dark berries, black currants, a touch of pepper and spice. It is lush and lively displaying good harmony between 2 of Australia's most prominent varieties. Maturation in 2 and 3 year old American and French oak barrels adds complexity. It is clean and approachable with good intensity built around a fine tannin backbone.
In this classic Australian blend, Shiraz provides fleshy fruit, spice and middle palate weight, and the Cabernet Sauvignon provides a sturdy backbone and structured texture. A perfect synergy of 2 prominent Australian red varieties
Fruit for this wine was sourced from the estate as well as neighbouring vineyards in McLaren Vale. It spent over 18 months in a combination of 2 and 3 year old seasoned French and American oak to enhance subtle complexity without the dominance of oak.
'Blackberries and coffee beans, bright blackcurrant and raspberry and some savoury elements too. Grainy tannin. Fresh flavour. Easy to like. 89 Points' - Campbell Mattinson, winefront.com.au
