Wakefield Jaraman is a zesty, full-bodied, Shiraz from Clare Valley wine region in South Australia. This Australian red wine is a regional blend of Shiraz grapes of about two-thirds Clare Valley and one-third McLaren Vale regions. The wine was partially cold-soaked for 4 days, then aged in 100% new American oak barrels for 11 months. Dark 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. This Australian red wine is a regional blend of Shiraz grapes of about two-thirds Clare Valley and one-third McLaren Vale regions. The wine was partially cold-soaked for 4 days, then aged in 100% new American oak barrels for 11 months. Deeply concentrated and flavoured.

Shiraz food pairings: juicy, grilled rare sirloin steak, hard cheese like Cheddar or Havarti.

Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

I really liked this wine, but sadly didn't take much in the way of detailed notes to remind me why (my reviews always tell the truth). Negligent though I may be I did note that it is more fruit over oak in terms of balance, and was quite full both in terms of aromas and flavours. I'll have to buy a bottle now as "punishment" for my poor notes. ;-)

Wakefield's Jaraman 2016 Shiraz is so chocolatey, you could pair this wine with anything from a dark chocolate dessert to a grilled steak (with a cocoa rub). Lots of ripe dark plum, berry fruit flavours, spice and smoke on this full-bodied and lush red. This Australian red wine is a regional blend of Shiraz grapes of about two-thirds Clare Valley and one-third McLaren Vale regions. Enjoy now and for the next five years. Pair with a roast of beef. - Community Wine Reviews
