Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

You cannot say disparaging things about Mitolo. Year after year they knock it out of the park with their entire range of bottling. The 2016 Jester Cabernet is loaded with black briar, mint, plum skin, fresh herbs, spud-bois, loamy earth, hung meat, smouldering tobacco, Kenya AA coffee and chocolate. Bring on the ribeyes. 92 Points.
Mitolo's Jester 2016 overdelivers at this incredible price point. This is a robust Cabernet Sauvignon from the McLaren Vale wine region with intense blackberry, red berry, dried herb and tobacco leaf flavours on the palate. Great balance and length. Pair with a New York striploin. Enjoy now and for the next five years. - Community Wine Reviews
