1999 Woodcutters Shiraz

The 1999 Woodcutters Red (2,300 cases) is an outstanding, reasonably priced effort from David Powell. Sweet, pure, ripe, full-bodied, rich, decadent, chewy, and fat, it is a thrill to drink. This wine not only makes for compelling drinking, but it is also a huge amount of fun, and isn't that what it's all about? If I had to give an award to Australia's finest winemaker in 2001, it would be hard not to consider David Powell. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
