Jasper Hill 2013 Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz (Heathcote)

Country: Australia / Victoria
Variety: Shiraz
Winery: Jasper Hill / Georgia’s Paddock

Dusty, firm, powerful: just a few apt descriptors for this vintage of one of Heathcote’s top wines. Mocha, licorice and blackberries feature on the nose, while the palate delivers more of the same—dark fruit, chocolate and plenty of spice. Best after 2020.
