Jim Barry 2005 The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon (South Australia)

Country: Australia / The Cover Drive
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Winery: Jim Barry / South Australia

Even Jim Barry’s entry-level Cabernet—The Cover Drive—is a hit. Blending various South Australian sources, it takes jammy blackberry fruit, backs it with darker notes of chocolate and layers atop a briary, herbal component, all working together to ably conceal its 15% alcohol. Drink now–2012.
