Wine Description
The Story
To craft Double Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon, Jacob's Creek started with ripe, intense fruit from selected Coonawarra vineyards. First the Cabernet Sauvignon was matured in traditional oak barrels before being finished in aged Irish Whiskey barrels. This unique double-barrel technique adds smoothness and richness to the palate.
Wine Information
Surprisingly, slightly lighter colored than the shiraz, and the fruit is less fragrant on the bouquet; however, the palate makes up for that in no uncertain fashion, with cassis to the fore, and given complexity by touches of Coonawarra earth and herb; classy, integrated and balanced tannins add depth and length.
