The luscious elegance of the Clare Valley fruit marries superbly with the slightly peppery fruit from McLaren Vale.

EXPERT APPRAISALS

12 Jan 201692/100 GOLDViolet color. Toasty aromas and flavors of butterscotch, toffee, and berry pie crust with a silky, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, refreshing, medium-long spiced orange, pomegranate, and menthol and eucalyptus finish with chewy, crunchy tannins and moderate oak. A delicious, savory and herbal shiraz with lots of appeal

Roger Jones, How Aussie Shiraz is still flying the flag
1 Jan 2017Fresh and clean, savoury and bright, precise dark berries, easy drinking, fresh, blackberry and blueberry and gentle creamy coffee, vibrant. -
Rich Cook,
2 Jan 201791/100A very solid expression of Shiraz, starting out with aromas of fresh mint, menthol and black cherry in front of a backdrop of leaf and olive. The palate is bold and well-integrated, delivering the nose elements and bringing the fruit center stage. Moderate grip carries the fruit through the finish while keeping the other elements in play. Nicely complex Shiraz at this price point.

3 Jan 201792/100Exemplary Shiraz. Mature blackberry and cherry fruit with notes of spice and vanilla oak. -
MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Reviews
3 Jan 201788/100 Very GoodThick and dense, with blackberry and licorice notes that are vibrant and juicy, adding accents of cedar and fresh mint on the finish. Drink now through 2030. -
Vic Harradine, April 8 2017 Newsletter
4 Jan 20175 starsBaking spice, dark cherry/berry fruit, sweet vanilla and sprigs of savory herb aromas leap from this stunning multi-region Shiraz. It’s rich, luscious, balanced and beautiful showcasing a dazzling array of ripe fruit flavour with mulberry, black plum and red cherry to the fore adorned with black pepper, dark bittersweet chocolate and hints of eucalyptus. There’s persistent purity of fruit, good structure, complexity and an incredibly long finish and aftertaste.

New releases from Down Under
8 Jan 201790/100The Jaraman Shiraz is a blend of fruit from two regions, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale. The wine shows dark berry fruit with attractive spice notes. It has a savory character that makes it a good pairing for beef or lamb dishes. -
Natalie MacLean,
5 Jan 201793/100Dark chocolate and sweet black fleshy plums on the nose with a pleasant zing of acidity mid-palate for lots of dishes from tangy meat sauces to grilled meats. More black fruit and mouth-filling roundness. A consistently good producer at fair prices for the quality. Highly recommended. -

James Halliday,
7 Jan 201795/100Deep crimson-purple; all the synergy hoped for by the winemaker has been achieved. This is as complex as it is full-bodied, with an inky black fruit bouquet, the palate filled to overflowing with black fruits, spice, licorice and dark chocolate all contributing. Has the X-factor, especially if it is given 10+ years in the bottle. Great value too. -
Chrstine and Trevor, Wine Review
8 Jan 20174.8/5Anyone looking for a flavoursome, rich Aussie dry red wine might do well to take a peek at this offering from Taylors. Their Jaraman Shiraz does not disappoint and would pair well with a large number of foods. Using wines from both the Clare Valley and McLaren Vale wine areas, this Shiraz might well be one of the best wines you will taste this year. Dark purple in colour, it has ample berry and cherry fruitiness, while not being overbearing. As with most Shiraz, this wine can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of food such as venison, irish stew, rack of lamb, brisket, and pasta. If you have a few spare dollars, this 2015 wine would be worthy of cellaring to see how it develops further. -
Rich Cook,
10 Jan 201793/100I reviewed this wine in February of this year, and I'd say some bottle rest has improved the wine from the 91 point score I assigned it then. The mint and menthol have integrated nicely, allowing the rich fruit a little more of the stage. Time… never underestimate its power. A Platinum Award Winner at the 2017 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Josh Raynolds, Australia Brings the Brawn and the Beauty
10 Jan 201791/100Bright purple. Dark berries, licorice, mocha and black pepper on the fragrant nose. Supple and smooth in the mouth, offering fresh blueberry and blackberry fruit complicated by touches of coconut and vanilla. Smoothly blends depth and energy and finishes very long, displaying gentle sweetness and youthful, building tannins. -
Michael Vaughan,
11 Jan 201790/100 Best BuyExtremely deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, ripe black cherry puree nose with some cedary sandal- wood notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, dense, harmonious, nicely structured, slightly spicy, ripe plum-cherry puree flavours with a lingering, bright finish with lots of cedary notes -
Tony Aspler,
11 Jan 201789.5/100 Best BuySpicy, cedary, herbal nose of black fruits; full-bodied, dry, richly extracted, savoury blackberryand cherry flavours with ripe tannins.
-
Sara d'Amato,
11 Jan 201788/100A very fruity shiraz, ripe but alcohol is rather well absorbed by the cushion of black fruit on the palate. The tannins are quite mellow, making this both approachable and inviting. Warm finish. Oak treatment is restrained and integrated taking second stage to the wealth of fruit. Good concentration and length. -
Robert Lublin, Review: Wines of Wakefield
11 Jan 2017A-South Australia is renowned for Shiraz, and Taylors Jaraman Shiraz is a fine example of it. The wine pours a deep, dark purple. The nose is reserved, presenting subtle aromas of wild berries and pepper. The palate is much more assertive, offering lush blueberry and black cherry along with black pepper, some dusty chocolate, and medium tannins. The wine is fruity but completely dry, and the finish is long and enjoyable. This wine drinks fine by itself but really shines with food. -
Ronn Weigand MW, MS, Star Listings (Wakefield) - issues 175, 176, 177
12 Jan 20174+ StarsThe 2015 Jaraman is excellent: supple, full bodied, and both very ripe and somewhat oaky in flavor, it is a youthful, balanced wine with intense blackberry, cedar, tobacco, red licorice, plum jam, and dried fig aromas/flavors, and a smooth, long finish. Can be aged. 55% Clare Valley, 45% McClaren Vale.
