Jack Estate Mythology Shiraz 2015
$55, 15% alcohol, screwcap, Coonawarra.

Sweet fruit flavour runs through complex secondary characters. This is in excellent shape for a wine of its age. It tastes of redcurrant, rust, red jelly and roasted herbs, with choc-mint and leather characters layered over the top. Tannin adds shape to the wine, and a pleasing dryness to the finish. Roast beef – or certainly something from the oven – and a bottle of this and it would be happy days. 91 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
