Bob Campbell: Taylors Jaraman 2022 Shiraz $26

BOB’S BEST BUYS 

Taylors Jaraman 2022 Shiraz $26

Why I chose it:  

I needed a big rich Aussie red to match my braised lamb shanks. Taylors is my “go to” wine producer when I’m looking for a classic Barossa-style red (this is made from a blend of Clare Valley and McLaren Vale grapes).  

 

What does it taste like?  

An intense wine with rich, ripe berry-fruit, vanilla, black pepper and chocolate/mocha flavours.  

 

Why it’s a bargain:  

It delivers more bang for the buck than just about any other red wine I can think of. I don’t know how they can make a wine of this quality at such a modest price.  

 

Where can you buy it?  

The Good Wine Co., Auckland $25.99 

Whiskeyonline, Auckland $25.99 

Winesale.co.nz, Lower Hutt $25.99  

 

Food match?  

Braised lamb shanks or similar hearty roast lamb dishes  

 

Will it keep?  

It is delicious now but should become even mellower and more complex in a few years.

Cherez for twenty six dollars. Bob is with us this morning, Kyoder,
Bob Cura, Jack So tell us about the Taylor's Jereman.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well, I was cooking up some braised lamb shanks and
I really needed a big rich wine to sort of
go with a very big rich dish, and Taylor's is
my go to wine producer when I'm looking for a
classic Barossa style red. So I tasted this viotage of

(00:53):
Yeerremen for the first time and was really really knocked out.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, what does it taste like?

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Well, it's a very intense, tense sline that's sort of
rich ripe, berry fruit, vanilla, black pepper, chocolate mocher. I'm
a bit carried away with my notes here.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
You don't liorry, Yeah, please keep going.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's the standout feature is a sort of lovely smooth
texture really seductive stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, oh sounds beautiful. So at twenty six dollars you
reckon it's really good value?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yes I do. Yeah, deliver small bang for the buckland
just about any other red wine that I can think of.
I don't know how they could make a wine at
this quality at such a modest price.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I really don't, Right, we can you pick it up?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Lot Well? I hunted around and found a good wine
company in Auckland has it for twenty five ninety nine,
Whiskey Online in Auckland twenty five ninety nine, the same
and wines Wine Sale dot co dot m Z in
Lower Hut twenty five ninety nine. So Valentonian's well served

(02:05):
did that too? Well?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I'm guessing that you made a good call and matching
it with your lamb shanks? Is that what you would recommend?
The kind of rich beast meals?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, yeah, any rich red meat sauce for red meat
dish with will do. It did go well with the
lamb shanks, but it would go equally well I think
with Yeah, just a steak on the barby.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, make like a big roast lamb or something like
that might be nice as well. They do you reckon?
It'll keep, Bob, do you know, is it best drunk
now or could you sellar it for a couple of years.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
It's good stuff now, but but it's going to get
more mellow with age and perhaps a little bit more complex,
which is a good thing I think, so certainly, no rush.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, well that sounds great, Thank you so much, Bob.
So Bob's pick for us this week is best Buy
is a tailor's Jerreman twenty twenty two Charaz for twenty
six dollars. The details will be on our website
