With a name like Wynns Coonawarra Estate you would be forgiven for thinking this wine hails from the Coonawarra region of South Australia, well, you’d also be correct ;).

This is a dissapointing drop, after loving so many of their other wines, especially the Shiraz Viognier trying this one has left me feeling like something is lacking, its not up to the usual calibre from this winery.
