Value pick: Jacobs Creek Barossa Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

June 15, 2017

Jacobs Creek Barossa Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Jacobs Creek; ever the value champions. This style will always be a natural winner for JC, and often better than the equivalent Shiraz.

Jubey and juicy blackberry fruit here with a milky oak edge. Lots of smooth jubey flavours a dash of mint and even fine tannins. Overachieves for the dollars, and even has good varietal flavours. Tick, tick, smiley face. Best drinking: 2017-2023. 17/20, 90/100. 14.6%, $19.99. Would I buy it? Probably not. Would recommend though.

(I use inklpay in lieu of a paywall. A small tip goes a long way to finally paying for hosting!)

  • About me – Andrew Graham


    At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

    Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

    While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
