Jacob’s Creek 2006 Reserve Chardonnay (South Australia)

Country: Australia / Reserve
Variety: Chardonnay South Australia
Winery: Jacob’s Creek / South Australia

JC is making an effort to upgrade its Reserve range, and this is a good example, offering peach and pineapple flavors framed by vanilla, butter and toast. It’s all barrel-fermented, impressive at this production level (25,000 cases) and price point.
