Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2012 Jackaman's Cabernet offers a great core of black cherries, crushed blackberries and blackcurrants with hints of sautéed herbs, tree bark, cloves and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is still very tight-knit and primary with firm, grainy tannins and a good amount of finish to support through the long finish.
Score: 92 points -- Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate, 2015
