2022 Bleasdale Broad Side Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 6 Pack

92 POINTS

Campbell Mattinson - Halliday Wine Companion

Shiraz-dominant blend with cabernet sauvignon and malbec also contributing. Nine months in French oak, but only 5% of it is new. Fresh fruit is to the fore here, but there's plenty going on besides. Dried herbs, a lick of cedarwood, crushed fennel notes and sweet tobacco lead to smidgens of resin and dust. It feels controlled, well balanced and authentic.
