McWilliams Mount Pleasant Maurice O’Shea Shiraz

Maurice is back on form in the great 09 vintage, showcasing the fruit of the oldest vines of the most famous historic vineyard of the Hunter in all of their black plum and cherry glory. Tightly wound, poised and driven by the acid backbone and restraint of this long-ageing season. $55 at Kemeny’s.
