Marcus Ellis - Halliday Wine Companion
This is a pan-regional blend, knitting together the characteristics of varying geologies and macroclimates. There’s violet and lilac, ground coffee and tar, boysenberry, blueberry and plum, dried seaweed, iodine, soft licorice and morcilla. The cool year has put a cap on sweetness of fruit, which is no bad thing, though it is still mouth-filling and intense, tannins chewy and layered, calling for food.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2022 Lily's Garden Shiraz is silky, succulent and svelte, with a score of streamlined tannins across the palate. Classically McLaren Vale in its styling, this is all exotically spiced fruit, with a midnight sky of flavors. It's a lovely wine, hugely drinkable and delicious. If you are wondering what McLaren Vale Shiraz tastes like, in a nutshell, this is it; the spectrum expands well into the distance to both sides of it, this occupying the plum space in the middle. 14.6% alcohol, sealed under Diam.

Angus Hughson - Vinous
The 2022 Shiraz Lily's Garden is a more elegant style of Two Hands Lily's Garden Shiraz. Thanks to the vintage, it delivers black olive, thyme and dark chocolate aromas with sweet new vanillin oak in play. This is quite tight and firm in texture with complex wood smoke and black earth complexity building over a lengthy, focused finish. The 2022 needs time to show its best.
