"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 Emily's Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc gives fragrant aromas of blackberry and blueberry preserves, dried plums, sandalwood and underbrush with nuances of mocha and cigar boxes. Medium-full bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and acid, the fruit is concentrated and youthfully restrained, revealing a savory spiciness in the long finish. 96 Points/Drink 2013 - 2025+" - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
"This is a pearler. It’s a class act on all fronts. It’s rich with perfume, and powerful in the mouth, but then dry and grainy and interesting through the finish. It promises, and then delivers. Blackberry, fresh raspberries, smoky oak, eucalypt, blooms of violet and creamier, more cedary elements too. It doesn’t have any excess alcohol heat and yet it’s alive with flavour and perfume. Blew me away with its beauty. 95+ Points/Drink 2014-2022" - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
