Although this wine is constantly praised for being succulent and rich - perhaps the best feature of this wine is its complexity and texture which are rarely found at this price.
Wine Advocate The 2006 Woodcutter’s Shiraz was sourced from six sub-regions of the Barossa. The wine was aged for 12 months in large, neutral French oak and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Purple-colored, it has an attractive array of pepper, spicy blackberry, black cherry, and blueberry muffin aromas. Full-bodied and opulent on the palate, the wine delivers gobs of meaty, full-flavored blue and black fruits to accompany its forward, easy-going personality. Drink this incredible value over the next 4-6 years. Score: 92. —Jay Miller, October 2007.Wine Enthusiast Tobreck’s entry-level Shiraz boasts lovely aromas of blueberries and spice, with a hint of pepper. On the palate, blueberries and blackberries shine, and the texture is lush, tightening up just enough on the finish. This is a blend of 78 different lots, according to winemaker David Powell, mainly matured in old, large wood. Drink now–2014. Score: 91. —Joe Czerwinski, November 01, 2007.
Wine Spectator Smooth, open-textured and expressive. Redolent of sandalwood among the cherry flavors, finishing with fine tannins. Drink now. 22,000 cases made. Score: 88. —Harvey Steiman, October 15, 2007.
