Generous ripe fruit flavours of the Clare Valley are balanced with elegant, fine tannins, lifted mint character and velvety finish of the Coonawarra.

VITAL STATISTICS
Wine details
-
At release, the wine has a deep crimson red colour to the centre with a youthful purple hue to the edges. There are lifted aromas of dark cherry fruit along with subtle choc-mint and a hint of eucalypt. On the palate, this is a rich, full-bodied wine with intense flavours of cassis and blackberry fruit along with attractive oak characters of cigar box and tobacco leaf Overall, the wine is well balanced with complex, well-integrated, elegant tannins providing structure and an intense, persistent length to the finish.
-
The grapes were gently de-stemmed and transferred to small static stainless steel fermenters. A smaller parcel of the grapes were cold soaked at 6 degrees C for 5 days to deliver increased fruit expression. The fruit was then fermented at a constant warm temperature using a Cabernet-specific yeast isolate. Gentle mixing using inert gas occurred 2 – 3 times over the course of the day. The wine was then gently pressed to a French oak barrels (50% 1 year old, 50% 2 – 3 year old) for secondary, malo-lactic fermentation. Post MLF, the wine was transferred back to barrel for maturation before being fined, filtered and bottled in August 2017. Blend Percentages - Coonawarra - 76% Clare Valley - 24%,
In Coonawarra, there was an excellent start to the season, with average winter rainfall ensuring good soil moisture and even budburst. Spring however was not typical, being very dry and one of the region’s warmest, advancing flowering in November by about 2 weeks. Fortunately the warm and dry weather during flowering promoted a fast and even berry set and then good even maturity similar to other excellent seasons of the past. Very dry conditions continued through December, so berries remained small with thick skins. Ripening was set up perfectly with the vines receiving a refreshing drink of rain in mid-January. Coonawarra’s summer, in contrast to the spring, was classic, with warm days and cool nights. This provided a long and cool ripening, ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. In the Clare Valley, the growing season in the lead up to vintage 2015 saw slightly higher than average rainfall initially and then very little fell, making it the driest ever August recorded. These conditions were unfortunately conducive to frost. The first evidence of budburst appeared in the last week of August which is relatively normal. Rainfall for spring was well below average and not only was the spring weather extremely dry, it was also warm and windy. These conditions led to higher evapotranspiration (water loss), and despite our irrigation effort during October and November, still had a detrimental impact on flowering with resultant bunch numbers down on average. December and January were relatively mild, with rain falling during the second week of January. The moisture was a welcome relief after such a dry spring and the vines on the estate responding well for both yield and quality.

Anthony Dias Blue, BlueReviewsExtra
17 Feb 201991/100Minty and ripe with silky texture and plenty of spice; smooth and juicy with balance and long, tangy finish -
Josh Raynolds, Australia Brings the Brawn and the Beauty
17 Oct 201990/100Inky ruby. Focused aromas of blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate and mint. A juicy, energetic midweight, offering dark fruit and bitter chocolate flavors that show good clarity and a zesty, spice-tinged back end. The dark chocolate note carries through the nicely persistent finish, which features dusty tannins and a hint of smokiness. -

Huon Hooke,
18 May 201992 PointsVery deep, saturated red/purple colour; the bouquet also concentrated and ripe with a strong overlay of eucalypt and mint. It's very full-bodied, firm and concentrated, with tight, lively, youthful structure, and masses of tannin. It begs to be cellared. -
Matthew Jukes, Matthew Jukes 100 Best Australian Wines 2018/19
18 Jun 2019The Jaraman label strikes again, drawing on the chocolate mint notes from Coonawarra and the structure and tannin lurking in the Clare Cabernet component. Seamlessly welded together and then embellished with the ripest and most succulent of oak additions, this is a wickedly enticing wine with hedgerow fruit and a sheen which one only usually finds on icon cuv -
Campbell Mattinson,
18 Jun 201992 PointsFirm, solid and reliable. Clare Valley cabernet, done well. A solid hit of blackcurrant, a briar-like notes, damp tobacco and woodsy, peppercorn notes. Mid-weight but inching towards fuller territory, an impression heightened by the curve of coffee-stained tannin pulling through the finish.

Natalie Maclean,
18 Aug 201993 PointsTaylors's Jaraman 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied with ripe blackberries, dark plum, dried herbs and tobacco leaf and minty flavours on the palate. Pair with grilled lamb chops. -
James Halliday,
18 Aug 201989 PointsGood colour; a powerful full-bodied blend with full cabernet fruits heads one way, the tannins in an opposite direction. The tug of war isn't moving much one way or the other which, if nothing else, tells you the wine is balanced. Given time it could surprise. -
Beppi Crosariol, Wine Review: Taylors Jaraman Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, Australia
19 Mar 201990 PointsSweetly ripe and commandingly intense. This is sourced from the Coonawarra and the Clare Valley. Big, chewy-gummy fruit with bright spice, minty freshness and peppery spice. Notes of coffee and vanilla, too. Perfect for lamb.
