Jim’s Script

Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Cabernet Franc Petit Verdot

$29.00

First produced in 2013 this classic, Bordeaux style blend is a fine example of the synergy that can be achieved with skilful blending of various fruit parcels. The complementary effects of the fruit flavours and tannins of the four varieties, deliver a wine of style and length that is structured, elegant and full in flavour.

Cabernet Sauvignon contributes elegance, finesse and a structured tannin frame. Select vineyard parcels ensure vibrant aroma, flavour profile and elegant tannins. Components are barrel fermented in 2 and 3-year-old American and French oak. Merlot fills the front and mid palate with rich, red fruit. After a 2 year maturation in old French oak barrels, the tannins work to soften the wine. Fermented in older French oak barrels, Cabernet Franc contributes perfume and leafy aromatics, while drawing a linear tannin down the centre line to give the wine focus and length. Petit Verdot contributes freshness along with a sprinkling of spice and perfume to provide aromatic lift and palate weight. Like the rest of the blend it is fermented in older French oak barrels.

Custodian History

A STORY OF LOVE

Custodian of the land that is now the home of Fox Creek, Dr. James ‘Jim’ McKinnon Watts, was an eminent professor of surgery and a lover of wine. In 1984, he and his wife Helen purchased the bare land on Malpas Road and together with their four children, planted a wide range of grape varieties. The vines thrived, bearing exceptionally high quality and sought after fruit. Ten years later, from the 1994 vintage, the family retained a parcel of fruit which they lovingly crafted into wine. The transition from growers to winemakers began and with that, Fox Creek Wines was born! Jim’s Script honours Jim and Helen’s vision and dedication to nurturing both the land and vines on the Malpas Road property—a true legend, pioneer and custodian.
