| Background: Good winter rainfalls ensured soils were well filled before the spring growing season, and this resulted in healthy growth of vine canopies. Warm dry conditions in November provided ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set. Summer temperatures were 2-3ºC higher than normal, but healthy vine canopies were able to protect the fruit, which ripened slowly but with great intensity of flavour, colour and tannin. |
| Colour: Deep Ruby Crimson |

| Palate: This wine shows enormous depth of fruit, with concentrated ripe blackcurrant and juicy blueberry flavours seamlessly integrated withsavoury, charry oak. Well structured tannins give this wine elegance and finesse while still providing a balance with the wines intense ripe fruit characters. |
| Highlights: The 2001 Jacobs Creek Johann Shiraz Cabernet has been bottle matured at the winery, so it is still fresh yet well integrated,and will delight consumers who choose to drink it now. On theother hand, carefully cellaring this wine for the next 5-10 years will enable further development and integration of the ripe and intense fruit flavours it has come to be known for. |
