Jim Barry Cabernet Sauvignon The Cover Drive 2017

In the glass this wine shows a bright garnet red with a violet hue. The nose opens with lifted notes of dark berry compote, tobacco leaf, savory spice and olive leaf. On the palate, bright blue and red fruits are at the fore, with cigar, tobacco leaf and a hint of cedar. The fruit weight carries the finish long and firm with red fruited detailing and supple tannins.

The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for this full-bodied, generous Australian red wine . Rich on the nose with fleshy ripe blackberry and black cherries with dark cherry, ripe dark berries, mint, sweet dried tobacco leaf and baking spice flavours on the palate. Tannins are structured. Pair with grilled red meats.
