Steve Thurlow,
17 Aug 201989/100This is fresh cooler climate Aussie shiraz with some complexity to nose and palate. It is an opaque purple with a harmonious nose of blueberry and blackberry fruit with well integrated oak spice plus some floral tones and a touch of dark chocolate and vanilla. The palate is quite elegant with the soft fruit well balanced by acidity and gentle tannin. Very good to excellent length. Good focus and well priced. Try with a steak -

17 Sep 201991/100Juicy and savoury with mouth-wateringly ripe fleshy black plums. Great value. Absolutely delicious. -
Eve Bushman, Five from Taylors Wines
17 Nov 201987/100Hints of blueberry, blackberry, jam on toast and only a bit of pepper all on the nose while the mouth held notes of that same blue to black fruit, not a lot of spice or pepper, but good tannins and a tingling quality.

Jon Thorsen, Taylors Shiraz - Very Satisfying
18 Sep 20197.8 (Highly Recommended)[FROM TWITTER] Smooth, spicy and very satisfying! Highly Recommended. [WEBSITE REVIEW] The 2016 Wakefield Shiraz from Taylors Family Wines begins with an enticing aroma of spicy black cherry, black pepper and plum notes. The wine tastes smooth and spicy just like a good Shiraz should. Medium to full-bodied, it features loads of dark berry fruit, cola and licorice with hints of vanilla wrapped up in a nice velvety mouthfeel. A bit of oaky spice and coffee leads into the dry, long finish. -
Steve Creber,
18 Aug 201988 PointsSees time in both French and American oak, but more of the latter. Ripe cherry fruit with a touch of mint is pretty much the dominant theme with this wine, and it does show some regional personality along with that. Complexity is not part of the equation here, it's just a good mouthful of generous, satisfying flavour which is exactly what's expected of it, you'd have to say. -

18 Nov 201916.5 PointsRock-solid classic plummy fruit notes with gorgeous sweetness yet pure, long, juicy fruit. An Aussie stalwart. An epitome of the style that has made Australia popular, and I

Kangaroo Meatballs
Enjoy this simple, quick and very flavoursome dish of Kangaroo meatballs in a rich tomato basil sauce. Serve on a bed of spaghetti and with a sprig of fresh basil and some shaved aged parmesan.
