Why do we love it?
The Cover Drive by Jim Barry is exactly what you want when you think of Cabernet Sauvignon from the New World. Rich, juicy, fruity, delicious, and perfect! As if that wasn't enough, it has the signature of a leading producer and terroir of a major area, Coonawarra.
Jim Barry's winery is one of the most important wineries in Australia, with many important wines in its portfolio, including an Assyrtiko! Now at the helm of the winery is Peter Barry, who continues the brilliant course that his father started. At the southern end of Coonawarra, there was a cricket stadium until 1950, which in 1996 came into Peter 's hands and was to become the basis of The Cover Drive! In Coonawarra, the special soil and unique climate help Cabernet Sauvignon to unfold its complexity. The maturation in French and American oak barrels emphasizes its exuberant character and gives it a chocolate dimension.
It is enjoyable now and for the next 5 years!
