Description
This superb vintage of Fox Creek’s classic JSM blend, which was first produced in 1995, has received numerous International Gold Medals and a score of 96 points from Winestate Annual. The blend is a masterful combination of Shiraz for its fruit richness and elegance, Cabernet Sauvignon for its ripe round tannins and length, and Cabernet Franc for its aromatic lift and fruit weight. It boasts a deep red to purple color and a complex bouquet of blueberry, cassis, and blackberry, layered with notes of black forest cake, chocolate, coffee, and hints of nutmeg and mint. On the palate, this full-bodied and generous wine showcases flavors of redcurrant, blueberry, cassis, and cherry, which bring brightness to the forefront, while milk chocolate, vanilla, and brown spice add a creamy mid-palate. The wine is complemented by a fresh line of acidity and an elegant tannin profile that drives the wine from start to finish. This JSM blend is best paired with juicy steaks, rich game dishes, or roast lamb, and although it already drinks beautifully due to our delayed release, it will continue to develop and soften with up to 10 years of cellaring.
