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.
