Jacob’s Creek Cool Harvest Sauvignon Cabernet 2011 $17 
No I haven’t got the name of the grape back-to-front, this new release is a blend of 70% sauvignon blanc, 25% cabernet sauvignon and a splash of shiraz. It’s a crazy blend, sort of like a rose on steroids meaning its dark crimson, dense, dry, spicy and spritzy. It also has slightly leafy, menthol –like flavours on the finish, but it’s fresh, lower in alcohol (around 11%) and made exclusively for New Zealand apparently – how nice. Widely available.
