"More density to this then the 2014, more concetration with the spice and openness knocked back in favour of chocolaty, blueberry depth. A full, chewy density of the texture and spicy black fruit, tannins tighter and certainly one with more ageing potential. Note price and stockist is for the 2013 vintage at time of review."

"From younger vine fruit, but still 40-year-old vines. Lots of spice from open top ferment and then into older barrels of French oak, mostly larger hogsheads and puncheons, plus some big vats. Lots of cherry, blackberry and lighter rose-hip notes to match the spice and fruit depth. Very approachable. Price and stockist is for the 2013 vintage at time of review."

"The 2020 vintage was a rough one for South Australia and it shows on this wine. There's fleshy plum, cherry cola, chocolate, menthol and some mealy oak on the nose. The palate displays Torbreck's signature intensity and silky mouthfeel, but the acidity feels forced and the powerful, woody tannins are clunky, stomping around the wine as if wearing combat boots. The finish is short and warm. Drink now with an equally hefty meal. Christina Pickard"

91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz" from the vintage 2018 on 01.04.2021 with 91 of 100 points.
"One of Torbreck's most affordable reds, this is a rich, chocolaty winter warmer with plenty to like. Aromas of cranberry, plum, beetroot, cocoa and savory herbs and spices lead into a powerful, mouthcoating palate. Tannins are dusty and chewy, lightened by a lift of acidity and juicy fruit. There's a lick of oak showing here--more so than on the previous vintage. A plate of protein is recommended. Christina Pickard"
yr. 2019 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz" from the vintage 2019 on 01.03.2021 with 92 of 100 points.
"This wine offers oodles of plush, plump plum and cherry accented by flowers, peppery spice, soy and iron. The palate delivers what the nose suggests. It's broad shouldered but neatly cupped by fine, chalky tannins. There's a lucidity here thanks to minimal oak. Tangy fruit and a saline note carry the finish. It's a charming example of modern Barossa Shiraz. Christina Pickard"

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2007 with 91 of 100 points.
"Tobreck's entry-level Shiraz boasts lovely aromas of blueberries and spice, with a hint of pepper. On the palate, blueberries and blackberries shine, and the texture is lush, tightening up just enough on the finish. This is a blend of 78 different lots, according to winemaker David Powell, mainly matured in old, large wood. Drink now-2014."
yr. 2002 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz" from the vintage 2002 on 01.01.2004 with 88 of 100 points.
"Made from all young-vine fruit, Woodcutter's is aptly named in that the palate has earth and tree bark flavors that give black cherry fruit an even darker foil. Stewed fruit and pine needle aromas on the nose come back to clean up the finish. A fun, good, weeknight pizza wine."
