Jim Barry Single Vineyard Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Over the past 56 years, Jim Barry Wines has developed and nurtured a mosaic of vineyards, each of which is unique in site, soil and aspect. Distinct parcels of fruit are selected to make wines that reflect the vineyard where the grapes are grown. This Cabernet Sauvignon was selected from the ‘Cricket Pitch Vineyard’ in the Coonawarra and shows the hallmark richness and intensity of wines grown on the region’s famous terra rossa soil.
A wonderfully poised wine showing aromas of perfumed floral notes, cassis and blackberry briary fruits complemented by an attractive earthiness. The berried fruits are framed by well integrated and savoury tannins through to an exquisite finish.
