Tony Love - 5/5 Stars - Knockout - 2008 Houdini McLaren Vale Shiraz
November 09 2010 at 9.05am
The story: Smidge is the inventively packaged and excitingly crafted set of wines by Two Hands winemaker Matt Wenk. This Houdini range offers great value particularly this shiraz, not to be confused with another, a Barossa blend of shiraz and zinfandel.
The flavour: Weighing in at 15.3 per cent alcohol, there's no doubting this has a lot of power, yet there's vibrant purple fruits colour, glorious fragrance, concentrated plum and blackberry and cream flavour and mouthfilling generosity.
Rating: *****
5 out of 5 stars - top class
Value: Brilliant
Verdict: Knockout
