The 2022 Jim Barry Atherley Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium South Australian Cabernet that showcases the house’s signature balance of power and elegance, sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites to highlight regional character and structure. It reflects a modern Australian style with depth, refinement and ageing potential.The nose is rich and expressive, showing blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry layered with cedar, tobacco, graphite and a touch of eucalyptus.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a structured yet polished profile, delivering concentrated dark fruit, subtle earthiness and fine-grained tannins that lead to a long, smooth and persistent finish. The style is classic Cabernet—combining intensity with balance and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Cabernet for customers looking for a structured yet approachable Australian red. It offers depth without being overly heavy, making it versatile for both drinking now or short to mid-term cellaring. Drink now with decanting or over the next 6–10 years. Perfect with steak, roast lamb or hearty dishes.
