Jacob's Creek Shiraz South Australia Reserve

It's been a while since I've added a wine to our house list. Have had a lot of wonderful wines in the last several months, but they've not had the quality to value ratio that they must have to become one of our "go to" wines. At $12 with great flavor (and 90 points from Wine Spectator)here's one that made the cut.


Learned about it from the weekly e-mails I get from Wine Spectator. Normally, the tasting notes they provide are a launch for my own thoughts. In this case, every word is dead on. So, with apologies for plagiarism, here are the tasting notes for this delicious Aussie Shiraz.


Jacob's Creek Shiraz South Australia Reserve
(2004 vintage is currently available.)
"Smooth and open-textured, with cherry and savory red pepper flavors that mingle effectively on the mineral-tinged profile, lingering against refined tannins on the long, expressive finish."
