About the Wine: Australia is well known for its signature grape, Shiraz. They also make some remarkably good Cabernets so it is only natural that winemakers would blend them in the hopes of capturing the best of both.
About THIS Wine: This wine has a very dark center and a garnet rim, which are both a good sign in a robust red. The nose is heavy with raspberry. Mild spice is present in the background, as are hints of oak. Red fruit is prominent on the palate but the palate is also very smooth. The wine is both smooth and fruit forward. The classic peppery taste of Shiraz comes through in the finish along with subtle tannins.
Drinking This Wine: Aramis is not overly dry or tannic and would thus be fine as a sipping wine. It would also pair well with grilled meats.
Overall Impression: I like this wine, but it is not the best I've ever had for the cost. It is reasonable for the price.
