Aramis White Label Shiraz 2022

Mattinson review of Aramis Vineyards White Label Shiraz 2022.

Aramis White Label Shiraz 2022
$22, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.

Sweet fruit flavours, plum and blackberry-accented, rush through the palate in volume, in the process ushering peppercorn and general sweet spice notes along for the ride. This is a warm, well-flavoured, fruit-driven shiraz for the most part, but it also has just enough earthen-woody spice notes to give the flavours a bit of spread. Given all that, the asking price makes it a bit of a steal, especially if you’re in the market for a bigger style of red. 91 points.
