Wakefield / Taylors, Clare Valley (Australia) Shiraz 2019

Mar 30, 2022

By Wayne Belding

 The Clare Valley of South Australia is noted for both red and white wines.  The Wakefield St. Andrews Shiraz is a superb example of Clare Valley reds.  Made only in the best vintages, the St. Andrews Shiraz grapes are grown on Terra Rossa soils and show a combination of power and elegance that is truly exceptional.  The bouquet is intense and inviting, with luscious blackberry and blueberry fruit scents interwoven with subtleties of vanilla, leather, mint, earth, cinnamon and herbs. The flavors are concentrated and complex with layers of succulent fruits unfolding on the palate. The delicious fruit flavors are enhanced by the creamy, smooth texture, the vanilla, herb and spice subtleties.
