Description Jim Brand was a deeply passionate Coonawarra winemaker and vigneron who was born into the third generation of an Australian winemaking dynasty. Today, the family continue Jim’s legacy by crafting premium Coonawarra wines which reflect Jim Brand's drive, passion and endless pursuit for quality. For their magnificent 96pt Cabernet, the fruit is grown next to the iconic Coonawarra-Penola railway line in a vineyard planted in the mid-1980s. Close to two years in French oak (30% new). "For me, one of the stars of this year’s releases and certainly, hands down, the top value offering ... Approachable, with spicy notes, mulberries, cassis, blackberries, mint and tobacco leaves – a really impressive example of Coonawarra supported by firm and abundant tannins... 96pts" (Ken Gargett, Winepilot).
