The addition of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon leads to a very different wine from others in the Dutschke stable. Medium bodied and with savoury nuances, this is an adaptable food wine; in all the right ways. A rack of lamb would suit it down to the ground. -JP

Barossan Winemaker of the Year, Wayne Dutschke's ability to balance rich, full flavours and freshness is always on display in the St. Jakobi Shiraz. The 2007 version is just another example of how sweetness and generosity need not mean jamminess and over-extraction. -JP
