Critic reviews
Critic reviews
Wine Enthusiast – Jim Barry's premium Cab is a good example of the elegance that can be achieved with this grape when its grown in cooler climes. Aromatically, there's a lot going on here: savory soy-sauce notes and smoky ones, too, fuse with green leafy herbs, red currants, violets and pencil lead. It's full bodied but age has been kind to it thus far. The powerful savory tannins and oak characters are still prominent, but crunchy red fruit keeps things bouncy. Harmony seems to have been found. Drink now–2028.

Jim Barry The Benbournie Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Description
Description
96 POINTS - The Real Review
"Deep, youthful red/purple, rich and young for its years. The bouquet has rich chocolate and dark berry aromas allied with charred toasty oak, in fine harmony. The wine has terrific intensity of red and darker fruit flavours in the mouth, powerful and long and preserving impressive elegance. A delicious wine."
This wine is a deep crimson red in the glass. Intensely aromatic with a mix of dark vine fruits, dark chocolate, fresh garden herbs, cedar oak and a touch of earth. The palate is flooded with generous dark berry flavours with savoury notes of earth, clove and cedar. Very fine, mineralic tannin lends length and style to a wine of great presence and persistence. The Benbournie has been created with the Jim Barry philosophy to be enjoyed upon release after a period of long term cellaring (under correct conditions) to enhance the wine’s qualities.
