Jim Barry The Cover Drive Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Coonawarra, South Australia, AustraliaThis cabernet sauvignon bats it out of the park (how's that for a sports reference?) for nailing its Coonawarra character. Tobacco, dusty red raspberry, a hint of medicinal cherry and a pretty floral vein flow through this medium bodied red. Supple red tannins support the concentration handily, with a welcome nudge of grippy tannins easing the crunchy corners. Brisk acidity and a stony, faintly iron underlay props up the whole through the finish, feeling slightly hotter than the 13.5 percent labelled. Regardless, pouring this with pork chops will earn you a home run (do they have those in cricket?) Ed note: that's a six, or a boundary six.Tasted: 12 February 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $27.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
