I had the pleasure of sampling several Jacob’s Creek Reserve wines at a recent tasting and the 2009 Jacob’s Creek Reserve Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon was among them.
For fans of big, beefy Cabs like me, this is a very affordable option.
In the glass, the wine is dark purple.
On the nose, it’s black berries, vanilla with woodsy anise notes.
On the palate, this Australian Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied with crushed ripe berries and plums. The finish is rich, slightly oaky and long.
Might benefit from some cellaring, but a nice option to pair with a grilled steak on a Tuesday night.
Around $10.
