Saturday, January 17, 2015 - Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 13%, A$48} In a sense you don’t get more unfashionable than this; the throwback to the original Maurice O’Shea blend. Maybe detractors would claim this near 50/50 blend spoils either decent pinot or decent shiraz, I suppose. It’s all earthy, spicy fruits; it is if anything lighter than the straight pinot Mothervine bottling from the same vintage. Light/medium-bodied, with lots of acid, little oak or alcoholic heat. Savoury and dry. Proper Hunter wine. O’Shea’s efforts lasted half a century; this should be OK for a decade.
