Jim Barry The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Jim Barry The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of fresh tobacco leaf, cassis, boysenberry and subtle eucalyptus. On the palate, expect a silky entry with layers of dark cherry, plum and ripe berries, supported by super-fine tannins. The finish is velvety and persistent, with lingering notes of coconut, vanilla and spice that reward each sip.

Jim Barry The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon is produced by Jim Barry Wines, with fruit sourced from the Coonawarra region of South Australia. Coonawarra is renowned for its terra rossa soil and cool maritime climate, which are ideal for growing structured, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemakers Tom Barry and Ben Marx craft this wine to showcase the region's distinctive character while maintaining consistency across vintages.

Jim Barry The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with juicy steaks, prime rib, venison burgers and aged hard cheeses. The wine's robust structure and fine tannins complement rich, savoury dishes without overwhelming lighter preparations. Avoid pairing this Cabernet with delicate or lightly flavoured foods, as its bold character works best alongside substantial, flavourful meals.

This Coonawarra Cabernet complements grilled beef, pulled pork, venison and hamburgers exceptionally well. The wine's dark fruit profile and structured tannins stand up to charred, smoky flavours and rich sauces. For a classic pairing, serve Jim Barry The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon alongside a perfectly cooked ribeye or aged cheddar.

Serve Jim Barry The Cover Drive Cabernet Sauvignon at 16-18°C, which is slightly cooler than room temperature. This temperature range brings out the wine's best qualities, allowing the dark fruit aromatics and fine tannins to express themselves fully. Use a generous red wine glass to allow the wine to breathe and develop in the glass.
