97 Points - Wine Spectator:  This stunner oozes with fresh and preserved fruit flavors of blackberry, huckleberry and blueberry, followed by wave after wave of details including spices, rosemary, date-nut bread, mocha, tobacco, palo santo, salted black licorice and tapenade on a plush, creamy frame, with a long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2037. 100 cases imported.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:  The 2022 Georgia's Paddock Shiraz leads with blackberry jam and salted licorice, pastrami, tobacco, alpine mint, arnica, coffee grounds and forest berries. It is inky and black, and yet the tannins have a drying effect through the finish. There is an aspect of the luxurious nature of this wine that is very appealing, and this will attract many. However, my concern is that when fruit is picked late enough to achieve the flavors that they do here, it can come at the expense of freshness and suppleness of tannin. While I believe this wine is still very much in balance, it is pushing the line of ripeness, for my palate. Yet it's a style, and it's done very well here—and better than many, I might add, who shoot for this same impact. 15.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.
