Wind River Shiraz 2022
$24, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.

This red wine has been beautifully grown and made. It’s medium-bodied in the best of ways, it’s ripe but not overdone, it shows elements of complexity but it’s not taxing in any way. The end result is a wine that’s good for a glass, and for another one; it’s not a one glass or one sip pony. It tastes of red- and black-berried fruits and woodsy spices; it feels svelte in the mouth; and every mouthful feels satisfying. Yes please. 92 points.
