Jacob’s Creek 2013 Reserve Pinot Noir (Adelaide Hills)

Country: Australia / Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir South Australia
Winery: Jacob’s Creek / Adelaide Hills

For the price, this is a remarkable achievement. It’s a varietally correct, properly lightweight Pinot Noir imbued with attractive black cherry fruit. There’s a charred-stave character that adds vanilla and a tinge of mocha as well. Drink now.
