James Suckling
Layers of blackberries, mulberries, dark chocolate and spices. The palate is medium-bodied with finely tuned tannins, the bright acidity leading into a focused, peppery and textural finish.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
Yes. Value plus. Lovely wine to drink. Bright red berried fruit flavours, gently jellied, gently infused with orange oil, run into notes of sweet spice, mints, woodsy herbs, licorice even. It’s the combination of brightness and depth that wins the day. And complexity; inherent, unforced and delicious. Tannin here deserves a mention too. Everything in this wine is good.

Angus Hughson - Vinous
The 2022 Shiraz Lodge Hill is approachable while delivering fleshy chocolate/berry aromas lifted by florals and spices. This is juicy and medium-bodied in style, with well-weighted tannins and cola flavors. It is a little tight right now and needs time to settle.
Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2022 Shiraz The Lodge Hill is vibrant and vital, retaining the leafy Clare Valley regionality, all the while wrapping it in an abundantly glossy, glitteringly purple package. This is loaded with fruit and berries and structured by fine, spicy tannins. Not hugely complex, but it majorly overdelivers at approximately $25 AUD. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
