Amelia Park Braidwood Shiraz 2022
$48, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Frankland River.

This is a warm-hearted shiraz with saltbush, iron and general herb characters threaded through black cherry, ripe plum and choc-mint. It’s a wine of substance but it’s also a wine of both polish and freshness; the fruit itself has a jellied, boysenberry-like edge and the wine’s texture has a softness. The firmness of the finish here also suggests that this wine can be cellared with confidence. 93 points.
