Thomas Wines Sweetwater Shiraz 2010

Thomas Wines Sweetwater Shiraz 2010

I've been tasting a lot of Shiraz over the past months and it is beautiful to taste such a lovely and accessible Hunter version. This wine is no more than medium bodied that seems to coat the interior of my mouth in Hunter goodness. There is an element of sweetness as caramel swirls take control but soon the flavour of Christmas cherries march back with force.  In a time where everyone seems to be looking back at the older style wines with glee in their eyes this wine seems to combine the best of both worlds. Maybe what people want to something that reminds them of a time with their family when they were younger?  I might be getting a little nostalgic but it is that time of year when you get together with your family and enjoy the moment with a large glass of wine. Time to drink up I say.
