Relish a sumptuous, 95pt, elite Single Vineyard Coonawarra Cabernet from the top-class Jim Barry estate. "There is a highly attractive, pure core of fruit on the mid palate (cassis, blackberry and blood plum swirl in a vortex of flavour… length is admirable… fine tannins… elegant wine… 95pts" (Erin Larkin, The Halliday Wine Companion).
Clare Valley’s Jim Barry is a name known around the world – a byword for quality and wine expertise. A founding member of Australia’s First Families of Wine, the Barry family celebrated the 60th anniversary of its winery in 2020, the year it also scooped the title of Halliday’s ‘Winery of the Year’. Son Peter took over Jim Barry in 1985, and today brothers Tom and Sam – together shortlisted for Winemaker of the Year 2026) are pushing the bar even higher.
Though the name Jim Barry is almost synonymous with the Clare Valley, the family own vineyards in Coonawarra too, and for this Single site beauty they use fruit from the Penola Cricket Ground vineyard, – literally an old cricket ground, they bought and planted in 1997. The name honours all those who played here.
For Stuart Knox in The Real Review its: “Ripe fruit has power and intensity, well-matched to a judicious oak layer that brings harmonious spice…93pts”
