Yalumba is one of Australia’s most historic family-owned wineries—crowned with a 5-star rating from Australia’s most eminent wine critic—and their 2022 Samuel’s Collection Shiraz is a calling-card bottling. Grown on top sites across the Barossa Valley in a “perfect vintage” (Vinous), it’s bold and velvety, with plenty of dark fruit and a full-bodied personality. For the price, we defy you to find a better Shiraz. Inky purple at the core with a crimson rim. The aromas burst with blackberry compote, dark chocolate, crushed violets, and warm baking spice. The palate is plush and full-bodied, layering black plum, blueberry, and licorice over supple tannins, with a rich undercurrent of smoky oak. Hints of espresso and black pepper emerge on the long, velvety finish. Generous yet polished, it’s a bold expression of Barossa power ready to drink. Drink now–2030.
