About Our Ratings

Jacobs Creek 2008 Reserve Shiraz, Barossa
A perpetual Best Buy, Wine Enthusiast Magazine said "The Reserve wines from Jacob’s Creek continue to offer excellent value". This wine from the outstanding 2008 vintage is an engagingly fragrant wine, aged up to 20 months in French and American oak barrels. After aging, only the best lots make it into the final blend. The tannins are soft and supple and the flavors are a complex intermingling of blackberry, plum, cedar, coffee and spice.

    Should have bought the case!

    I was really surprised how smooth it tasted. At this price, it was a really good wine. You can drink it on a week night or save for special party it should go over...Read complete review

    Great for the price

    A great $10 bottle of wine- good for when you have guests who don't drink a lot of wine. I like it.

                          This is a hearty wine that goes well with meat dishes, spicy dishes and strong cheeses.
