Wines worth trying

For June's tasting I have chosen:

McWilliams 'Mount Pleasant', Hunter Valley, NSW.
2003 - 'Philip' Shiraz.

It's not just the name that inspires this choice. Hunter valley shiraz is a unique varietal. Almost opaque to the eye with rich, earthy, oakfilled flavours. It is made for winter comfort food. I suggest a hearty beaf stew (2 nights ago we cooked osso bucco in a tomato, carrot and pumpkin sauce...).
