Jim Barry Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon

Jim Barry Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon

A refined cool-climate Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects precision viticulture and careful fruit selection, this wine showcases the elegance and structure achievable in Australia’s Clare Valley. Slower ripening conditions contribute to a balanced profile, combining ripe fruit intensity with freshness and restraint.

Tasting Notes:

• Deep ruby in colour.
• The nose is expressive yet poised, offering aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, lifted by subtle hints of cedar and gentle mocha.
• On the palate, it is smooth and well-structured, with fine tannins supporting concentrated dark fruit flavours. Oak influence is integrated rather than dominant, adding layers of spice and softness.
• The finish is long, polished, and savoury, with lingering fruit and cocoa tones.
