Sort By:

Wakefield Estate 2010 Riesling (Clare Valley)

Price $17

Light and crisp, with a perfumed bouquet of baby powder and lime blossom. Simple green apple and lime flavors carry a tart edge through the finish. — J.C. (11/1/2011)

points

Wakefield Estate 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Clare Valley)

Price $16

So big that even the winemaker calls it “the monster.” Feels like Port on palate entry, with high-toned red fruit and a little fresh herb. Tannins are dry, but the finish is even drier, with cranberry, oak and herb flavors. — D.T. (2/1/2004)

points

Wakefield Estate 2002 Shiraz (Clare Valley)

Price $16

Sweet raspberry and blackberry aromas; mixed plum fruit on the palate. The fruit’s so jammy that it’d be at home with some peanut butter, between two slices of bread. Dries up on the finish, with taut red fruit. — D.T. (2/1/2004)

points

Wakefield Estate 2009 Promised Land - Unwooded Chardonnay

Online Exclusive

Price $12

Fresh and light-bodied in style, with ripe tropical fruit and citrus taking center stage. It’s a well-made, fruit-driven white at an affordable price. — J.C. (7/1/2011)

points

Wakefield Estate 2003 Promised Land Chardonnay

Price $13

Sunny, lively and unique in that it’s floral on both the nose and the palate, where the fruit is bright and tropical. A good white wine, though the floral bits may throw you off from guessing that it is Chardonnay. — W.E. (7/1/2004)

points

Wakefield Estate 2008 Promised Land - Unwooded Chardonnay

Price $13

Expressive, with exotic tones of guanabana and mango that give way to a buttery palate accented by fresh lemon. The finish isn’t long but there’s an interesting sweet note at the end, along with a final citrus twang. Drink now. — J.R. (8/1/2010)

points

Wakefield Estate 2005 Promised Land Riesling

Price $13

With its pronounced weight, bit of residual sugar and slightly oily texture, this is not a prototypical Australian Riesling. But it is well made, with flavors of baked apple and citrus that last on the finish. — J.C. (2/1/2007)

points

Wakefield Estate 2006 Promised Land - Unwooded Chardonnay

Price $13

This oak-free Chardonnay combines pear and tropical fruit flavors in a somewhat simple but pleasant package. Shows some oiliness to its texture and a touch of warmth on the finish, but it’s a good effort overall. — J.C. (5/1/2008)
