Posted in Adelaide Hills, shiraz et al
By Campbell Mattinson It's easy to be a fan of
Mike Press' Adelaide Hills Shiraz- bargains rarely come much better. It's not just some opportunistic prey-on-the-misfortune-of-others gambit either; it's the wine of real people, farming their own land, making their own wine.
I reckon this is the best Mike Press Shiraz so far. Fresh, bright, boysenberried fruit laced with saucy, spicy oak. It feels modern and old-fashioned at once. It's acidity is lively, it's tannin fine and ripe, its finish satisfying. It's seductive and textural and while it gets you in from the first sip - it evolves nicely in the glass too. Buy it for the quality; treat the price as a bonus.
