Wakefield Estate
Wakefield Estate 2000 St Andrews Chardonnay (Clare Valley)
- $17
A thick, gooey wine, a triumph for fans of the butter-toast-candied fruit style. Aromas are of butterscotch, cocoa and toasted coconut. Peach is at the core, but it’s buried deep.

Wakefield Estate 2008 Riesling (Clare Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
A disappointing effort from this stalwart Clare Valley producer, but still a good wine, with pretty aromas of crushed stone, mint and lime. The mint becomes more medicinal on the palate, veering toward camphor or menthol, while retaining a citrusy edge and decent length.

Wakefield Estate 2001 Promised Land Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Molasses or burnt sugar is a big player on the nose. Blackberry fruit takes a turn for the tangy in the mouth, with the help of some oak. Falls off on the finish.

Wakefield Estate 2002 Promised Land - Unwooded Chardonnay
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Offers cracker and wheat aromas, and light white stone-fruit flavors that seem coated in confectioner’s sugar, or talc. Perhaps it’s the “unwooded” designation talking, but this wine seems a little light, and not much like Chardonnay.
