What reviewers say
“This wine is now 15 years old and has developed into a great Coonawarra red. This is a Shiraz not the Cabernet Sauvignon that the district and indeed Wynns are more well known for. Purchased at auction for $19 eight years ago the wine has rewarded some extended cellaring.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has a dark purple colour with a bright violet hue. The nose is dark and concentrated with aromas of black fruits and spice. Dark cherries and blackberries are elevated with nutmeg, pepper and subtle violet florals.
Wynns Shiraz is Shiraz Syrah grown in Coonawarra, bottled as a red.
The calibrated figure is built from 2,125 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 2,192 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. 516 other reds from Australia form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Wynns Shiraz lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Australia (517 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 2,125.
