NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Jacob's Creek Classic Shiraz-Cabernet presents a deep ruby color with purple hues, signaling the richness and intensity of the wine.The nose is greeted with vibrant aromas of ripe blackberries and plums, characteristic of Shiraz, alongside the Cabernet Sauvignon's contributions of cassis, mint, and a hint of eucalyptus. Oak aging imparts subtle notes of vanilla and a gentle smokiness, adding complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with the Shiraz providing a juicy, fruit-forward profile complemented by the Cabernet's structured tannins and a hint of spice. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a well-balanced acidity that makes this wine easy to drink and enjoy with food.
