Description
The Clare Valley experiences a high diurnal variation - the difference between warm daytime temperatures and cool nighttime temperatures - which allows for the development of ripe, concentrated fruit flavours while maintaining impressive vibrancy and lift. The Wakefield Shiraz consistently provides ripe dark fruit notes with chocolate and spice accents in a zesty package. It will be a fine choice for grilled burgers or lamb.

Tasting Notes
Dark purple. Ripe dark berries, licorice and woodsmoke on the nose, with a peppery nuance adding lift. A silky, gently sweet midweight that offers tangy blackcurrant and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of vanilla. Shows good energy and focus on the finish, leaving behind bitter chocolate and allspice notes. Score - 89. (Josh Raynolds, vinousmedia.com, July 2014)
