WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Tasting Notes :The wine displays intense blackberry and cherry with lively black pepper notes. It is full bodied with strong palate presence. It demonstrates soft silkiness and firm tannin backbone. Expressive smokey cedar oak characters compliments a wine with great length of flavor, with complex notes of blackberry and spice.The 2004 Jacob’s Creek Reserve Shiraz owes its complexity to the integration of moderate to warm climate ripe blackberry lusciousness with stylish cool climate black pepper and spice characters. The enticing nature of the generous yet approachable fruit flavors read more...ensure that the wine can be enjoyed by those who choose to drink it now; however it has sufficient depth of flavor and density of structure to evolve further over the next 10 years if cellared carefully (hide)

    WS 89 - Wine Spectator 89 Points Smooth, ripe and generous, delivering a supple mouthful of plum, blackberry and guava flavors that flow easily into the long, focused finish. Needs time to soften the edges. Best from 2010 through 2016. 90,000 cases imported.-HS
