2022 DRY RED WINE NO. 2
“A brilliant Dry Red Wine No. 2... red and black fruits, iodine, graphite and melted dark licorice. Fleshier and more refined and seductive than last year’s version. Incredibly svelte tannins. Supremely balanced. I reckon Yarra Yering’s founder, Dr. Bailey Carrodus, would be chuffed with this.” – 99 Points, Philip Rich
“A deserved winner of seven trophies across three shows last year, including being in the final Jimmy Watson lineup at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards for the second year in a row. From its brilliant crimson purple colour to aromas of satsuma plums, wild berries and spice, there’s a lot to love.” – 98 Points, Philip Rich
“From a shiraz vineyard planted in 1973... this is a glorious shiraz, bursting with life and what will surely be a 40-year life span...black cherry and blackberry... tannins obediently bending the knee to the fruit.” – 98 Points, James Halliday
