Woodstock McLaren Vale Shiraz 2008
|
| |
|
|
The 2008 Shiraz showing lots of blackcurrants, pepper, spice and a hint of choc mint. The palate is lush and dense with an alluring texture of savoury tannins. A food friendly wine and a great example of McLaren Vale Shiraz in the glass.
Grapes for this Shiraz come from vines on the Estate which were planted in 1972 and 1974. The number of leaves are reduced to ensure perfect ripening of the berries with some exposure to sunlight and air. Yields are deliberately kept low for good flavour concentration. Maturation in 2 to 3 year old seasoned American oak for 18 months enhances its complexity without the oak dominating.
'In the groove. Blackberry, tar and vanillin but the individual flavours aren’t really the thing. It’s about powerful, dark flavour delivered in slippery smooth shape. Texture and impact. It’s warm through the finish and it delivers amply on its promise. 90 Points.' - Campbell Mattinson, winefront.com.au
