Jacob’s Creek St Hugo Barossa Grenache Shiraz Mataro
The great name of St Hugo has embraced Barossa GSM for the first time, and it’s a worthy newcomer to the family. Fruit purity is the theme here, embracing a fragrance of lifted rose petals, Turkish delight and violets, with the classic grenache fruit profile of raspberries and strawberries. The supportive structure and black cherries of shiraz and mataro are set against a backdrop of dark chocolate oak and firm, finely textured tannins. $35 at Jim’s Cellars and Dan’s.
