The 2022 Shiraz The Lodge Hill is vibrant and vital, retaining the leafy Clare Valley regionality, all the while wrapping it in an abundantly glossy, glitteringly purple package. This is loaded with fruit and berries and structured by fine, spicy tannins. Not hugely complex, but it majorly overdelivers at approximately $25 AUD. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Shiraz Lodge Hill is approachable while delivering fleshy chocolate/berry aromas lifted by florals and spices. This is juicy and medium-bodied in style, with well-weighted tannins and cola flavors. It is a little tight right now and needs time to settle. Angus Hughson, Vinous
