Here is what we decided to pair with today’s dinner– Hamburgers.
Today’s Pick – Wakefield Estate Shiraz
This wine possesses an alluring and fragrant scent highlighted by plum, blackcurrant, and dark cherry fruits, complemented by delicate hints of chocolate and oak-induced spice. It is rich and abundant on the palate, showcasing ripe fruit flavors of plum and blackberry. Mocha coffee and subtle spice from oak aging bring harmony to the fruit profiles. Thanks to its well-integrated tannins, this wine is medium to full-bodied, with a smooth and velvety texture. It achieves a wonderful balance, offering a delightful interplay of flavors and a satisfying fruity finish.
Ada— The wine was smooth and delicious and a nice complement to the burgers we had for dinner. I’m quite the fan of Australian wines lately and this one did not disappoint.

Rick— This wine was delicious. From half way around the world to my taste-buds… thanks Australia! The alcohol level was a bit high (14.5%) so half a bottle was enough to send me to la la land.
