The Hedonist Shiraz 2013

Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, Posted on 19 March 2015, http://www.winefront.com.au/

Made by Walter Clappis but it seems to be a brand unto itself. Grown biodynamically, matured in both French and American oak, and bottled unfiltered.

Weight, flavour, freshness, length. It’s McLaren Vale to a tee, almost old school, but it’s so well done. Blackberry, chocolate, red cherry and coffee. Balanced and smooth. For many red drinkers this will be just what the doctor ordered.
