Jim Barry, Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon, 2020
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
From the heart of the Clare Valley in South Australia, Jim Barry’s 2020 Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful yet refined expression of this classic varietal. The region’s cool climate and varied soils provide the perfect conditions for producing wines that combine richness with freshness, and this Cabernet Sauvignon is a prime example of that balance.
The 2020 vintage opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries, complemented by subtle hints of tobacco, cedar, and a touch of spice from oak aging. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with firm tannins that provide structure, while the acidity keeps the fruit vibrant and fresh. The wine’s smooth texture and well-integrated oak add depth and complexity, leading to a long, satisfying finish with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of earthiness.
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted lamb, or rich, flavorful cheeses. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for a few more years, the 2020 Jim Barry Cover Drive offers a well-structured, balanced wine that showcases the best of Clare Valley Cabernet.
