First produced in 1995 Shiraz components were selected for fruit richness and elegance, Cabernet Sauvignon for ripe round tannins and length and Cabernet Franc for aromatic lift and fruit weight. JSM is matured in 1 to 4-year-old French and American barrels for 18 months prior to blending.
Tasting notes:
A complex and layered nose consisting of plum, cassis and cherry fruit over strawberries and cream, cured meats, hints of fresh mint, spice and a leafy lift. Rich dark fruits of plum, blackberry and cherry over black forest cake, cream, and chocolate, create a luscious mid palate, framed with elegant tannins that extend through the finish. The careful blending of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc combine to provide layers of rich fruit, elegant tannins and a fresh leafy lift, complexities we seek when producing this wine.
