Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

COLOUR

Lovely medium red with rich burgundy hues and subtle amber notes on the rim of the glass.

AROMA

The bouquet is distinct bottle aged Cabernet. Classic “cigar box” complexity with rich earthy herbs, ground coffee and intense dark chocolate. It’s luxurious, sophisticated and enticing.

Palate

The palate follows on from the bouquet with smoky tobacco and a pot-pourri of dried herbs, brandied pudding and rich dark chocolate flavours. Given time to breathe, the flavours build on the tongue becoming increasingly complex showing characters of spiced mead, licorice and roasted coffee beans. The finish is smooth and mellow with a lingering savoury aftertaste. The tannins have lost the gripping edge but retain a lovely textural feel that is ideally suited to refined cuisine.

Food Matching

A hearty steak pie or beef wellington or slow cooked roast are perfect partners with this deliciously mature Cabernet for main meal, or enjoy it with soft cheese, duck liver pate and roasted cashews to finish.

Cellaring Potential

With ten years age the hard work has already been done. Simply open and allow to breathe, then sit back and indulge in a rare and wonderful experience.

Winery Profile

With over 50 years combined experience in viticulture and winemaking, old time “heavyweights” Chris Hill and Adam Jacobs have taken up the gauntlet to champion independent grape growers and craft a range of genuinely unique regional wines. Our quest is to simply deliver an individual experience that reflects the origin and rustic charm behind each wine.

At a time when small growers are struggling for recognition, our ultimatum is to fight to retain the diversity and charisma of true Australian wines, built up over generations. To lead this challenge we’ve chosen the image of the rampant Griffin, half Lion half Eagle. It’s a legendary symbol of courage and boldness combining the noble values of intelligence and strength … a valiant herald for the vision of Hill & Jacobs.

Each wine reflects the soils, climate and terroir of the vineyard. We embrace a traditional, hand crafted approach to winemaking allowing the natural varietal and regional characteristics to come to the fore. They’re bursting with reliable, genuine flavours from down to earth independent grape growers.

The “Limited Release” collection is a range of rare and unique batches of prestige quality wines that display outstanding flavour, texture and complexity.

We hope you enjoy!

Chris and Adam
