Saturday Morning With Jack Tame

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.    &nbs
