Exhibiting the typical characters of mixed red berries with a general spiciness to the velvety, viscous, well balanced and rounded palate. A powerful wine, with fine, supple tannins and a fabulous length. Great longevity again, but regardless, this will immediately appear on wine lists matched to grilled red meats without any detriment.

96 Points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate: “A big, rich wine, the 2015 Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz offers deep, earthy notes of black olive and espresso that complement the blackberry and plum fruit. There’s a hint of menthol that helps lift the wine and avoid any undue sense of heaviness—a notable accomplishment in a wine that's labeled at 15% alcohol. Full-bodied and velvety in texture, complex and long, with two decades of aging potential, there’s simply nothing to criticize here.”
95 pts/Top 100 of 2018 – #20 - Wine Spectator: “Fragrant notes of dried rose petal and white truffle indicate something special. Inside, this offers a fleshy, velvety mix of toasted rye bread, spicy plum jam, and framboise flavors. Elegant and plush, but with plenty of power within, flexing on the expressive, expansive finish that goes on and on.”
95 Points - James Halliday: “It is medium to full-bodied, with red and black fruits competing for space alongside spices and firm, but balanced, tannins. Carries its alcohol with aplomb on the long palate.”
92 Points - Wine & Spirits Magazine: “The 30 acres of Shiraz planted at Georgia’s Paddock face northwest, the vines growing on their own roots in deep Cambrian soils. Farmed with biodynamic practices and made without added yeasts or acids, this wine is stripped down to its zesty blackberry depths, that blackness of fruit and tannins creating a broad bandwidth of flavor. It ranges from sweet cherry tomato to luxurious bitter chocolate notes while focusing on the black fruit in the middle. Vibrant.”
