This carefully crafted blend sourced from SA regions, including rich succulent Shiraz from Barossa Valley and refined Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra, has created a Shiraz Cabernet with great intensity and depth of flavour. A uniquely Australian red blend, the wine features a seamless palate with a core of sweet, soft fruit tannins and balanced finish."I don't believe any Australian cross regional blend equals the symbiotic pairing of Barossa Shiraz with Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon. For example, few wines in the world equal Penfolds Bin 60A 1962, the legendary Max Schubert blend that upstaged Grange. The new Jacob's Creek may not challenge Bin 60A, but it captures the beauty of the combination: generous, soft Barossa Shiraz gives mouth-filling flavour; Coonawarra cabernet provides the wonderful, elegant structure. It's beautifully balanced and therefore a joy to drink now, but has the depth to age well for many years."- Chris Shanahan, the Canberra Times, 23 May 2012.
