This outfit seems to do no wrong when it comes to Shiraz, from their basic bottlings up to wines north of one hundred dollars. The 2019 Jaraman falls in the center of the portfolio, and it is a gem, as usual. There’s a fine balance struck between the fruit and the menthol, letting both elements show their best. Racy acidity bodes well for a long life, but you won’t have to worry about that – it’s too good right now. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
