Wynns Coonawarra Estate Limited Release Michael Shiraz 2009

Description

Named after David Wynn’s young son, Wynn’s Michael Shiraz is their best-of-vintage Shiraz. It is a legend in the Australian wine story and is produced in small quantities and only exceptional vintages. Clean, pure, elegant expression of Coonawarra shiraz. So clean and straight-laced I’m tempted to call it clinical. Spice-shot plums/raspberries, cinnamon doughnuts, cedarwood, white pepper and more robust blackberry/boysenberry. Fine web of tannin gains assertiveness as it rests in the glass. It’s not clumsy as it finishes but the tannin/fruit combination hasn’t quite ironed itself out either. Will age long term. – Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Shiraz Country – Australia Region – Coonawarra, South Australia Vintage – 2009 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 14%
