Wakefield / Taylors, Clare Valley (Australia) Shiraz 2016

Jun 17, 2019

By Rich Cook

 A hat trick for this wine in 2019, with Platinum medals at San Diego International and Monterey International wine competitions preceding this latest award.  This is another classy presentation of this bottling, with the regional character to let you know where it’s from, and the elegance to make you think it should sit alongside the best Syrahs in the world.  It should, and it does.  A serious value in its class, and a Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
