Thistledown Mattschoss Vineyard Where Eagles Dare Shiraz 2022 Union Horse Distilling This robust wine pairs beautifullyThe nose is pretty, with violets and a blackberry hedge in the morning mist, like a subdued French perfume all nuance and suggestion rather than an overt statement. The fruit speaks with the same understated confidence, coming from a single vineyard in Eden Valley.
