winemaker's notes:
The 2010 Jester Cabernet Sauvignon is dense purple in color. On the nose, you'll get masses of blueberries, cassis and leather with intense aromas of coffee and mocha. On the palate, it is spicy, lifted and pure, with juicy and savory tannins, richness and elongated length.
alcohol by volume:
14.9%
critical acclaim:
"Deep crimson-purple; uses the Amarone technique pioneered by Joe Grilli in Australia, with 20% of the grapes air-dried for eight weeks before being crushed; it worked for him and does here, adding a dimension of richness to the blackcurrant fruit, and creating a velvety texture."

Deep purple with little tannin to the initial taste. Has some nice fruity undertones and is smooth overall. I had mixed emotions on the first bottle so I ordered 3 more. In the end, I would rate it 88pts. and probably would not order it again.
Smooth & Supple
Definitely not worth 94pts. Lack of texture. I rate it for 88pts.
Smooth & Supple
Not too keen on this Cab. The aftertaste isn't pleasant and it's too watery and weak-tasting. Boquet is uninteresting.
I am not a big cab fan but this one is not too heavy and has good undertones.
Smooth & Supple
EXCELLENT CABERNET.
Smooth & Supple
Reasonable but not outstanding, with mild tannins, simple fruit, light body. Not exciting but very polite, with a smooth finish.

Deep fruit favors and a rich texture without being harshly tannic. I would definitely buy again.
This is a nice smooth cab but the 94 rating made me think it would be outstanding. It was very good - not outstanding. Certainly worth the price. I still have a hard time with screw tops and while I know it's not supposed to matter I'd much rather a cork.
Smooth & Supple
Great cab at a fantastic price. Distinctive McLaren Vale licorice/eucalyptus characteristic.
Big & Bold
I cannot describe wine with the precision of many of you; however, I simply love the deep color, full body and INTENSE linger of this wine. A personal favorite after drinking the first half of the case.
Big & Bold
Not bad, but not great. It seems too tight and sharp. Perhaps it will improve with age, but I'm not anxious to buy it again to find out. Perhaps I had an off bottle.
Earthy & Spicy
I'm clearly not a big fan of Aussie cabs. They are certainly priced nicely relative to a Napa cab, but there is little to differentiate them from comparably priced U.S. cabs.
Earthy & Spicy
I was excited to try this wine but was not happy with it at all. I am a huge cab fan and this cab is really weak. It may need more time in the cellar since it is a 2010. I would not buy this wine again. I do like the logo though. :)
I enjoyed this Cab. Would be great with a nice steak!
Better than advertised. Pour through an aerator and let stand for 15-minutes and you have a very good Cab.
This was a very fruity wine. I do not prefer fruity wines. However, this wine was fruity, but not sweet (if that makes any sense). It was a different taste than I'm accustomed to, but I like it.
Smooth & Supple
This is a very smooth cab with a nice hint of fruit. I recommend this to everyone from begginer to oenophiles.

I expected a great wine when I saw a 94 rating. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!! One of the worst tastes I've ever experienced. I'd add it to a stew but then I don't want to insult the steer.
