2018 is a vintage that shows the quality of shiraz from the best vineyard sites. Wynns 2018 Shiraz is spicy, silky and medium bodied. The nose is reminiscent of ripe strawberries with black pepper, with a fine silky palate of generous redcurrant fruit provided by the old vines.

Hits the mark at medium weight right in the meat of the bat. Blueberry and raspberry scents, some black jelly bean, clove and cinnamon spice, whiffs of mint and rosemary herb - palate and perfume in synch. Supple in texture, slurpy but hemmed in with a swish of broad, slow-moving, grippy-gummy tannins. Oak is modest, fruit is thick but bright, there’s lots to sink one’s teeth into, the texture is a delight. Such a charming, easy going wine with good tannin profile a feature.

An alluring contrast between succulent, glossy satsuma plum and black cherry fruit and medium-bodied restraint. The bright acidity of long, slow ripening and the fine tannins of chalk mineral terroir and French oak mark out a long and focused finish accented by black pepper. An impressive and effortless vintage that characterises the mood of Coonawarra shiraz. Drink 2023-2033
