Score 88/100 · Drink 2023-2028, Angus Hughson, Vinous, Jun 2023

This punchy 2021 Shiraz Woodcutter's radiates with vibrant sweet aromas of blackberry, cocoa and fruit pastilles. Fruit-forward in style with layers of tarry, sweet blackberry flavors plus ample volume. It finishes a little hard as the fruit fades over grainy tannins.

Lovely ripened blackberries and raspberries. Al dente. Full-bodied yet so refined and focused with crisp acidity and ultra-fine, creamy tannins. Succulent and crunchy but focused and structured. Bright and purposeful. Drink after 2024 but already hard to hold back. Screw cap.

Ever the reliable wine in the Torbreck lineup (challenged only by the beauty of the Steading, but nevertheless), the Woodcutters has tightened up over time. My first introduction to it almost 10 years ago recalls a plush, full-bodied wine that delivered all the Barossa feels and flavors that one could possibly hope for. These days, and today specifically, the 2021 Woodcutter's Shiraz is tight and tense, with black brooding fruit set to a rigging of firm, savory tannins. The oak is subliminal in this wine, leaving only the tannins to shape the fruit. Really handled well. Impressive.
