Wakefield Jaraman Shiraz 2016
AustraliaNearly equal parts Clare and McLaren Vale, this deep, full and sunripened shiraz was cold soaked prior to fermentation, and then into American oak for a short stint before bottling. Thick on the palate, compounded by wood and super ripe fruit, this is medicinal black cherry, cassis, ample pepper and eucalypt on a dense, kissed-with-vanilla palate. Too much, of too much; if you're looking for an intense Aussie shiraz, devoid of place but full of intent (richness), here you go.Tasted: 14 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $30.50 | 750ml | private wine shops |
