2014 Jasper Hill Emily's Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc 750ml

Emily's Paddock is not only wonderful upon release, this wine will age gracefully over many years in the good cellar. This red blend is mostly Shiraz - with a defining splash of Cabernet Franc. A lot has been made over the years of the “terroir” difference between Jasper Hill Emily’s and Georgia’s, but it’s the Cabernet franc that really differentiates them. Wonderfully fragrant and lifted on the nose. Critic tasting note: (2014 vintage) "To be fair, the Cabernet Franc portion of this wine is only 3%, so don't expect to be bowled over by Loire-like florals or leafiness. Rather, it's a dense full-bodied wine, savory in style, with edgings of charred meat, grilled plum, mocha and a long cocoa-tinged finish. Drink 2020–2030." - Wine Enthusiast Drinking Window: 2016-2034
