David McWilliam Mistletoe Home Vineyard Shiraz 2024
AU$35, 13.8% alcohol, screwcap, Hunter Valley.
Malt, coffee grounds and chocolate introduce a medium-weight, red- and black-berried shiraz that’s drinking well right now. It feels soft in the mouth and confident through the finish, with both fruit and oak as keen contributors throughout. Ultimately it’s just simply an easy red wine to enjoy.
92 points – Campbell Mattinson.
