Good Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits ripe, dark berry fruits and is elegant and tightly structured with fine grained tannins and integrated oak. Cabernet has the ability to age well and is often blended with Merlot or Cabernet Franc.

On the southern boundary of Coonawarra is the old Penola cricket ground, which first saw a ball bowled in anger and the flashing cover drives of the local champions in 1950. Sadly, the ground closed in 1996. Soon after Jim Barry purchased the 30 acre property and planted a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. The original pavilion and pitch have been retained, thus preserving an important piece of Coonawarra sporting history.
Fruit from this vineyard, along with selected parcels of fruit from our family owned Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the Clare Valley have been blended to produce a wine that is rich, soft and approachable.
This wine is a deep and opaque ruby colour, with purple hue. The nose is ambitious showing intensely perfumed fruit of blackcurrant, mulberry, raspberry and boysenberry. These aromas are full of complexity - offering senses of cedar, mint and eucalypt. The palate is overwhelmingly satisfying, hinting the Hallmark cabernet characters of cassis, menthol and satsuma plum. The tannins are integrated and well structured. With a long and balanced finish, this wine shows fi nesse and elegance. ‘The Cover Drive’ has been crafted to be enjoyed upon release with a view to medium term cellaring under the correct conditions.
