Red Yonnie Estate Winery, Limestone Coast (South Australia) Shiraz 2021

Mar 1, 2023

By Michael Franz

 Let us hope that Aussie wines will roar back into the USA market in the wake of a long, lamentable downturn in availability of examples like this that pack loads of flavor into a reasonably priced bottle.  Lest that last sentence be misunderstood, this wine is no stupid fruit bomb, as the relatively cool climate in the Limestone Coast resulted in a lengthened growing season and more layered aromas and flavors than one would likely expect from $17 Shiraz.  With fruit that is robust but not obvious and interesting savory accents, this is substantial and interesting at once.
