Medium garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Winemaker's Selection Vat 9 Hunter Shiraz shows aromas of warm red currants, crushed mulberries and black cherries with touches of dried sage, violets, black pepper and cumin seed. Light-bodied and elegantly styled in the mouth, it is just a little lacking in mid-palate generosity though the delicate flavors are well offset by judiciously extracted, approachable tannins and lively acidity before finishing with lingering pepper notes. Drink it now to 2020+.
