title: Wyndham Estate 2003 Black Cluster Shiraz (Hunter Valley)
description: Not that much Hunter Shiraz makes it to the U.S. these days, but this bottling from Wyndham Estate is a nice example. It shows rather clean winemaking, with strong vanilla and cedar notes from barrel aging to go alongside blueberry and blackberry fruit. Only mildly tannic, so it's approachable now, but should age through at least 2012.
variety: Shiraz
designation: Black Cluster
