MOUNT AVOCA SHIRAZ 2009 "96 Points. Bright crimson-purple; the bouquet has the special fragrance that comes from co-fermented viognier, bright yet also complex; whole-bunch shiraz (plus the viognier of course) has worked brilliantly, giving the wine great texture, length and balance.

MOUNT AVOCA SHIRAZ 2009, Pyrenees, Shiraz et al · Comment By Campbell Mattinson @ WINEFRONT Wines like this shiraz from Mount Avoca make my life as a reviewer so much easier. Open the top and the quality bursts forward. Fresh, vibrant, fruity – and interesting. Plums and eucalypt, smoky cedarwood and fine, gravelly, minerally tannin. It’s essence of shiraz. It’s not over the top. It’s balanced and bright and lengthy. It’s gold medal standard for mine. Rated : 94 Points, Alcohol : 13.5%, Price : $27, Closure : Screwcap, Drink : 2012 - 2019
MOUNT AVOCA CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2009, Wednesday June 22 · Posted in Cabernet et al, Pyrenees · Comments By Campbell Mattinson @ WINEFRONT Think it would be fair to announce that the Mount Avoca winery has awoken. These 2009s are terrific reds at excellent prices. Kudos to winemaker John Harris. Gorgeous cabernet. Sturdy and fleshy at once. Big strong blackcurrant-and-black-olive flavours meet eucalypt and toasted cedarwood. Love the way the tannin pulls through the wine here. Love the length. It going to take some time to soften – but it’s cracking quality. Rated : 94+ Points, Alcohol : 13.5%, Price : $27, Closure : Screwcap, Drink : 2015 - 2021
