Torbreck Barossa Valley Woodcutter's Shiraz 2017 Review
Finally! A Shiraz with balance, structure and grace. It has 15% alcohol, but you would never know it. Instead you have a rich, warming red wine with punchy sour cherry fruit and balsamic with a hint of currant soaking in earth. It is full bodied but won't overwhelm the senses. This is a damn great wine from Barossa Valley.
