[SOLD-OUT] Jim Barry Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Over the past 55 years our family has developed and nurtured a mosaic of vineyards, each unique in site, soil and aspect. Distinct parcels of fruit are selected to make wines that reflect the vineyard from which the grapes are grown.


This Cabernet was selected from our Kirribilli vineyard in the Coonawarra and shows the hallmark richness and intensity of wines grown on the region’s famous Terra Rossa soil. The hidden geological treasure of porous limestone, under the rich terra rossa soil, creates the ideal cellar by storing water for later use. From these gifts of the earth, the winemaker creates their distinctive signatures in wine. The combined efforts of many outstanding grapegrowers and talented winemakers have ensured that Coonawarra has produced wines of a truly unique style and quality. Accounting for less than 1.5% of Australia’s total wine production, these wines are now generally recognised as being amongst the greatest in the world.


This wine is a deep red with a ruby hue. On the nose, it shows intense blackcurrant, black olive with a mix of tobacco leaf, mineral notes and black pepper. Bursting with mulberry and blackberry, the palate has a streak of savoury earth and dark spices. Velvety, edgy tannin adds a rustic structure and length to the juicy fruit flavours, all framed within a nippy acid line.
