Good crimson hue; given the protracted drought, this is a great outcome, plum, licorice and blackberry in a swirl of savoury/spicy tannins and oak; has length and authority.

The 2008 Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz is a fleshier, opulent and more forward style than Emily’s. Deep garnet colored, it has an open and expressive nose of blackberry, licorice, sandalwood, spice box, earth and a hint of game. Fine, firm tannins and medium-high acidity give great structure to the complex palate. Very long and layered in the finish, this wine is best approached from 2011 and enjoyed through 2020+. 300 cases were produced.
