This shows appealing density and concentration, with bittersweet chocolate, licorice and distinctive green, herbal notes of sage and rosemary, plus notes of loam. The juicy berry flavors at the core are generous and linger on the finish. Drink now. 25,000 cases made, 400 cases imported.

Ever the reliable wine in the Torbreck lineup (challenged only by the beauty of the Steading, but nevertheless), the Woodcutters has tightened up over time. My first introduction to it almost 10 years ago recalls a plush, full-bodied wine that delivered all the Barossa feels and flavors that one could possibly hope for. These days, and today specifically, the 2021 Woodcutter's Shiraz is tight and tense, with black brooding fruit set to a rigging of firm, savory tannins. The oak is subliminal in this wine, leaving only the tannins to shape the fruit. Really handled well. Impressive.
