Torbreck - Woodcutters Shiraz 2017

Torbreck - Woodcutters Shiraz 2017

91/100

Robert Parker

Woodcuters means lumberjack. That sums up this rich, warm, full-bodied cuvée with great potential, yet very accessible. The balance between freshness and ripe fruit, aromas of blackcurrant, morello cherry, spices, and vanilla characterize this beautiful cuvée.

About wine:

The Woodcutters Shiraz 2016 is an affordable introduction to the Torbreck style, offering fragrant notes of crushed pepper, hickory smoke, ripe blueberries, and black olives. It is not overly concentrated but is flavorful and accessible, with a silky, indulgent finish.
