Jim Barry Barry Bro’s Clare Valley Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 (Australia)

Description

Almond, Blackberry, Oak

"Youthfully charming and instantly appealing, the wine shows sweet cherry, blackberry, floral and toasted almond characters. The palate delivers excellent weight and succulent fruit flavours, leading to a lengthy silky finish. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2023

"There’s no mistaking the ripe, dark and rich scents of black raspberry, chocolate, blackberry and licorice on the first nose of this wine. A mix of clay and baking spices follow leading to a palate of dark berries and wood spices, clay and stone earth flavours. Tannins have a natural firmness and acidity delivers the back bone to the structure. Well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2023

"Just as the two previous generations brought new and innovative viticultural and winemaking ideas to Jim Barry Wines, we are determined to forge our individual mark. We have taken inspiration from our family’s history to create this wine. Our two favourite varieties, Shiraz and Cabernet, were blended to deliver a contemporary expression of this traditional Australian style" Tom & Sam Barry

Dark and broody nose, with spicy aromas combining with plum, red currant, and a hint of cigar box. The nose carries through to the palate, with cocoa powder and a fine persistent tannin profile. Light on its feet in a medium body style.

Wine has been flowing in the Clare Valley since 1851 and is an integral part of the culture. It is one of Australia’s most prestigious premium wine regions, most famous for its Riesling and Shiraz. A small area, accounting for less than 1.5% of Australia’s total wine production. With its beautiful, rolling hills, ideal winter rainfall and Mediteranean climate, the Clare Valley carries a unique history and winemaking heritage.
