2022 Thistledown The Cunning Plan Shiraz...$29.99
The 2022 Cunning Plan Shiraz is exotic and grounded by a register of graphite spice: crushed rocks, peppercorns, raw cocoa and even tapenade. This is light on its feet yet intense and focused. It is supple but not plush, and while sybaritic in its splay of purple and black fruit, it isn't opulently styled. Again, this is a lovely release from the 2022 vintage here—restrained and ripe. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap
Rated 93/100 The Wine Advocate
A powerful, typically regional shiraz, exuding baking spice, clove, bing cherry and five-spice. Soft and plush, with the caveat of some tangy acidity marking the forceful back end. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Rated 92/100 James Suckling
