TWO HANDS CHARLIE’S GARDEN SHIRAZ 2022

The 2022 Charlie’s Garden Shiraz is classically Eden Valley, pulling together the threads of DNA that runs between these Garden Shiraz wines. Each expresses the clear identity of the places from which they spring, and here, the Eden Valley shines through in the crushed quartz, leather strap, raspberry pip, licorice, raw cocoa, grated nutmeg and graphite. It’s an elegant wine that manages thrust and dry power alongside nuance and detail. 14.4% alcohol, sealed under Diam. Drink date: 2025-2032. (Erin Larkin,robertparker.com,March 13, 2025)
