What to Expect
Australia has certainly made Syrah its own, even bestowing it with a new name: Shiraz. In the warm, dry climate of Australia this noble grape, responsible for some of the grandest wines of France, produces an intense, unique expression that is distinctly Australian. The ripe grapes take on classic notes of black pepper and leather that add depth and complexity to the black cherry and plum fruits on the palate. Australian Shiraz has typically been aged in American Oak barrels which impart the wine with a distinct note of vanilla that can add to the impression of ripeness many of these wines have, but the time in barrel also allows the wines a chance to settle and reveal their rich, voluptuously styled mouthfeel.
Winemakers Notes
'This is the kind of red I liked to drink with a hearty meal after a hard day's work in ght woods, but you don't have to be a woodcutter to enjoy it.' - David Powell

93 Points - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Low yielding, old and dry grown Barossa Valley vineyards are the cornerstone of Torbreck Vintners where traditional, manual winemaking methods and minimal intervention are combined to produce a variety of wines each year. The growers we work with have been selected for their unique vineyard sites and spartan approach to viticulture - Torbreck wines are concentrated in the vineyards, not in the winery.

The wine is very purple. Think Welch's grape juice purple. The aroma was sweet, heavy with black cherry, plum and blue fruits. It did not disappoint. There were no surprises on the flavor side. Lots of Blueberry with cherry and blueberry undertones. It has a big mouth feel, the fruit is almost overwhelming (Not that there is anything wrong with that...Thanks, Jerry Seinfeld). It finished smooth without any bitterness or heavy tannins.
This is a very pleasant wine. I know that Parker gave it a 92, but remember this is a Australian Shiraz. If you do not appreciate the fruit forward read more...

Wine Advocate ReviewRated 92The 2006 Woodcutters Shiraz was sourced from six sub-regions of the Barossa. The wine was aged for 12 months in large, neutral French oak and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Purple-colored, it has an attractive array of pepper, spicy blackberry, black cherry, and blueberry muffin aromas. Full-bodied and opulent on the palate, the wine delivers gobs of meaty, full-flavored blue and black fruits to accompany its forward, easy-going personality. Drink this incredible value over the next 4-6 years.Wine Tasting NotesThis is the kind of red I liked to drink with read more...

Color was a dark purple. Nose had plum, blueberries, and soy sauce at the tail end. It was fleshy and jammy with black fruits, a little wood on the end. Spice was passive and not overpowering. Fruity but not over the top. Not a long finish, but nice nevertheless. Very delicious and will keep you reaching for another glass. Had it with a steak on day 1, and alone on day 2. I think I prefer to drink it by itself as the food distracts me from experiencing the fun in this bottle.
Surprised to learn that this was 100% shiraz, esp noting how different it is from the 100% shiraz from Northern Rhone (Cave de Tain read more...
