Jim Barry Wine with a two bottle gift pack is perfect for Cricket lovers, with a bottle of Jim Barry’s Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon and Silly Mid On Sauvignon Blanc Semillon presented in a wooden gift box carefully packed in traditional wooden wool.
Those of cricket will know the fielding position called ‘Silly Mid On’ - Close to the batsman, requiring very good reflexes and always at risk of being struck by the ball off the bat. The 2010 vintage for whites in Clare was nothing less than perfect, this wine is pale straw in colour with green tints. The aromas are focused in the tropical fruit spectrum with notes of passion fruit, lychee as well as box wood and cut grass flavours coriander and fennel, full of delicious juicy tropical fruit flavours with great mouth feel, depth, length and acid balance, with a refreshingly crisp finish.
The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon from Jim Barry Wines Australia, is a wine of a brilliant deep red colour and showing a nose of sweet oak, blackberry and cassis fruit.
The palate is rich and full-bodied, with ripe blackberry fruit and subtle vanillin oak, with a lingering finish supported by fine grained tannins and aged for 12 months in American and French oak.
