This 2020 The Bolter Shiraz is very good. Buoyant fruit bounces on the palate, while well-judged acidity and fine tannin complete the double-bounce maneuver, catapulting the wine into the pure pleasure zone. It's a goodie.

Riggs's 2018 The Bolter Shiraz is just a touch lighter in weight than The Gaffer, but otherwise fairly similar. Black olive and licorice notes join blueberries and blackberries on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is silky and crisp. Drink it over the next few years.

Strawberry-rhubarb and raspberry flavors are bright at the core but run up against a thick wall of matcha green tea notes and drying tannins. Cigar box and spice notes linger on the finish.
