Wakefield St Andrews Shiraz 2015
Clare Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThis wine contains some of the oldest vines on the family estate, one that was first planted in 1892. Ample and alluring red raspberry, mulberry, cracked peppercorn, is threaded with medicinal cherry / kirsch and lifted with a thread of potent acidity. Peppercorns scent the whole, and sticky tannins, vanilla-lined, prop this up. After fermentation and ample hands-on time, this spent 20 months in American oak prior to bottling. The wood is evident, but well integrated, leaving an additional lingering sweetness on top of the super ripe fruit. Dense and hot, but with élan, this drinks well now with richer beef dishes, but will reward with cellaring.Tasted: 14 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $58.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
