Johann Shiraz Cabernet 2001

Filed under: Wine

Australian winemaker, Jacob's Creek, has recently released the The Johann Shiraz Cabernet 2001 in the U.S. As the flagship of the Heritage Collection, a prestigious range of wines that showcase Jacob's Creek's premiere growing regions, the Johann carries a juicy depth of blueberry and blackcurrant along with notes of spice and oak. Its complexity and richness are owed to hints of black pepper, anise and licorice in the bouquet and the balance of well-structured tannins on the palate. Such high quality translates into limited quantities, as this super-premium wine is a fitting expression of luxury. It is available for approximately $80 per bottle.

Everyone knows you can find great wine in California, France and Italy but would you have ever considered sipping vino from vines in Maryland? What about Texas, Virginia, Oregon or New York? It is hard to imagine but these areas have been slowly growing their vineyards and perfecting their craft over time and now their wines are ready for your discerning taste. Known for their pinot noirs and sparkling wines even Tasmania, Australia is making a leap into the scene. And Switzerland isn't just making great chocolate or watches these days! Their gamays and unique white wines are really something. So no longer do we have to limit our scope of great wines to the western coast of the U.S. or the Bordeux region, the varietals are coming in greater variety than ever before!
