Wyndham Estate Hunter Valley ShirazMost of the wines produced by Wyndham Estate are multi-regional blends, the Hunter Valley ‘Regional Selection’ Shiraz is one of the few exceptions and is sold at the cellar door with a good amount of bottle age.

Mid red in colour with mushroom and red fruit aromas, this full flavoured shiraz was incredibly smooth with only a little soft tannin present. Flavours of plum, earth and a little spice was evident on the finish.

The aromas of this wine were somewhat like an Italian cabernet blend, it was an ideal match with steak and roast potatoes. Do decant this wine if possible, as there is a fair amount of sediment present.

Score: 8/10
Price: $30
Closure: Cork
Alcohol: 13.0%
Other Opinions: Wyndham Estate
Would I buy this wine again?
Availability is an issue, however if I found myself at the cellar door again I may be tempted
