Redman Coonawarra Shiraz 2018

"This shiraz has put on weight since the 1970s and '80s, when it was more like 12.5 per cent alcohol. It's undeniably generous, bold, full-bodied and great value at the price. Spicy, herbal, plummy aromas. Soft, powdery tannins and good persistence. Relatively big for a Coonawarra, it's drinking well now and worth cellaring. Screw-cap; 14.8 per cent alcohol." Huon Hooke
