Jim Barry The Cover Drive: Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep, inky dark ruby-red, lighter on the rim. The nose is gently full, structured and herbaceous, with aromas of floral and cedar melded with blackcurrant, cherry, liquorice and mint. Medium-full bodied, aromas of succulent blackcurrant, cherry and blackberry entwined with liquorice, cedar, mint and rich earth. Firm, fine-grained tannin leaves a dry, mineral-rich palate, supported by a focused acid line and injects freshness to the rich fruit. This Cabernet Sauvignon shows ripe fruit with lively acid balance, mineral-rich and firm tannin structure. Match with beef steak and lamb over the next 5+ years. Fermented to 14% alc, aged 12 months in French oak.
