Coonawarra

Tasting notes
With aromas of red currants, cherries and raspberry that mesh every so well with the olive and white spice characters. The palate follows with an elegant structure bursting with dark brooding spice and succulent ripe tannins. Provided with the correct conditions, this could easily be a cellar star.

Named after David Wynn's youngest son, Wynns Michael Shiraz is only being produced when the vintage condition in Coonawarra is exceptional. It showcases the unique terroir of the region and with the 2012 release, it displays the qualities that really set it apart with other in the same category.

Marries elegance with depth and power, elegance controlling the union. Whereas oak is often very obvious in young Michael releases, here it is just a veneer for the supple plum, black cherry and blackberry fruits, the tannins likewise perfectly pitched. Coonawarra didn't miss out on the great '12 vintage

Deep crimson. Dark plum, blackberry, blueberry aromas with vanilla, mocha notes. Richly concentrated and voluminous with generous sweet dark berry fruits, cassis, liquorice herb notes, fine plentiful lacy textures and mocha oak. Finishes chalky with sustained flavour intensity and inky/ mineral length. A lovely expressive wine with wonderful aromatic complexity, tension and fruit density. Should develop really well.
