I had the pleasure of sampling several Jacob’s Creek Reserve wines at a recent tasting and the 2009 Jacob’s Creek Reserve Adelaide Hills Chardonnay was among them.
As those of you who know me already know, I’m not a passionate fan of Chardonnays, especially oaky ones, so I had my reservations about sampling try this Australian oaked Chardonnay.
In the glass, the wine is a little greener in color than I’m used to seeing in Chardonnays of other regions.
On the nose, this wine is bold with lemons and yeasty notes.
On the palate, this Adelaide Hills wine is rich, sourdoughy with plums and Meyer lemons. The finish is both nutty and crisp with oaky notes.
Around $11.
