Wakefield / Taylors, McLaren Vale (Australia) Shiraz 2019

Oct 12, 2021

By Rich Cook

 I really appreciate this brand’s continued effort to deliver quality Shiraz at several price points.  This new artist series line adds another layer to the strata, and it’s another quality offering.  The expected regional mint/menthol accents are well folded in, joining black fruit, tar and spice.  Nicely done!  A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
