Jim Barry The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (6 x 750mL), SA.

Description:

On the southern boundary of Coonawarra is the old Penola cricket ground, which first saw a ball bowled in anger and the flashing cover drives of the local champions in 1950. Sadly, the ground closed in 1996. Soon after Jim Barry purchased the 30 acre property and planted a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard.

The original pavilion and pitch have been retained, thus preserving an important piece of Coonawarra sporting history. Fruit from this vineyard, along with selected parcels of fruit from our family owned Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the Clare Valley have been blended to produce a wine that is rich, soft and approachable.

Expert Reviews

This wine is a combination of the elegance of Coonawarra, with the substance of the Clare Valley, making it a terrific expression of these two regions. There is intense dark chocolate and blackcurrant on the nose, with the palate revealing rich dark plum Ray Jordan's Top 100 Reds 2024

Winery Tasting Notes

This wine packs a punch on the nose, with dark red fruits, musk, spice, black cherry, brambles and a hint of vanilla bean.

Slippery on the entry, the palate displays up front dark red fruits, that instantly move into layered darker fruits with delicate tannins and a brambly finish.
