Deep crimson red with vibrant hues.
Wine Bouquet
Ripe berry fruit and plum with subtle aromas of spice, dark chocolate and eucalyptus.
Wine Palate
The palate is rich and mouth filling with intense ripe fruit characters. Dark chocolate and vanilla characters complement the generous red berry flavours. The wine has a well balanced structure with great texture and a long finish.
Cellaring Notes
Approachable but will reward careful cellaring to 2017, possibly longer.

Wine for Touch Times
A remarkably poised and polished wine, very tasty with just enough gentle, dry tannins to balance sweet and savoury fruit flavours.
Wakefield Estate Shiraz 2007B Magazine, April 2009
The winner of the `Best Value Red Wine' at this year's Sydney International Wine Challenge over-delivers for the money. There is a good lick of vanilla here from some time spent in American oak.Wine Watch

This wine is loaded with palate seducing rich sweet berry fruit flavours. There is some well integrated oak there and the wine finishes smooth and long.Grape Expectations
Wakefield Estate Shiraz 2007Kerry Skinner, Illawarra Mercury, June 2009
Grape Expectations
Voted best dry red at this year's Sydney International Wine Show it's supple and smooth in the mouth with sweet plum and black berry fruit flavours, integrated spice and peppery characters, great oak and juicy tannins.New Release
Wakefield Estate Shiraz 200786/100Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, August 2009
New Release
Quite minty with some beef jerky characters, spice, boiled fruitcake and blackcurrant - an interesting melange of flavours to say the least. Full bodied with juicy sweet fruit although it also looks dried out and lacks freshness. Tannins are dry and thereÆs a beef and chocolate aftertaste. Awkward sort of wine, although not necessarily a bad one. I prefer the Cabernet from this vintage.Big, bold flavours still appeal
Wakefield Estate Shiraz 200786/100Ray Jordan, West Australian, September 2009
Big, bold flavours still appeal
A balanced, spicy brambly shiraz with typical savoury nuances. Finely balanced palate with a tight inner core of fruit power. Has a nice mix of roasted coffee and light plum with a layer of cedar.Shiraz Reviews

Shiraz Reviews
Wakefield really do have to be commended for producing a consistently good wine, year in year out, for around the $15 mark - and turns out they have been commended, with them winning the ôBest Value Dry Red Table Wineö for this wine at the Sydney International Wine Competition. Kudos. Rich dense blackberry fruit & big rich flavours - nice silky tannins & a med-long finish.
