It’s Wakefield in the U.S., Taylors in Australia. But by either name it’s a big-time Aussie Shiraz at a beautiful price. This vintage is loaded with ripe blueberry aroma, excellent weight and balance on the palate, and a long, spicy finish. It was a platinum winner at the Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
