The best Hunter Valley vineyards for red wine hug the Brokenback Range, and this is precisely where the Vat 9 is born.
Awash with blue and red fruits, this is an iconic medium-bodied delight that consumes your taste buds and your soul. But as I've seen with many Hunter Valley Shiraz releases with a similar frame, just be patient and hold. You won't lose.
That delicate spice. That shape. That flow. Licorice, puffs of earth, dried red petals, cherries and cherry pips ride on the coattails of a delightful fruit profile. It possesses a magnetism that is reputably irresistible and that held true on day three of tasting. Wave after wave of plush deliverance, it's draped in glory. Brilliant and then some, this clears the way on the road to glory.
