Fox Creek is one of McLaren Vale’s most respected wineries, renowned for crafting wines that strike the perfect balance between power and elegance. Jim’s Script is their classic Bordeaux-inspired blend, a cuvée that celebrates the synergy of varietals and the art of blending. The 2022 vintage delivered exceptional conditions — warm days and cool nights — allowing each grape to ripen at its peak, resulting in a wine that is vibrant, structured, and beautifully layered.

This Cabernet-led blend (Cabernet Sauvignon 50%, Merlot 32%, Cabernet Franc 9%, Petit Verdot 9%) unfolds with lifted aromas of fresh mint, ripe plum, cassis, blackberry and raspberry, laced with dried herbs, tobacco leaf, cigar box and a subtle touch of milk chocolate. On the palate, plush layers of raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant weave together with roasted coffee, chocolate, nuts and warm brown spice. Well-integrated tannins give structure and focus, with a lingering finish that shows off both varietal purity and expert craftsmanship.

Matured in seasoned French oak to enhance depth without overpowering freshness, this medium-bodied wine reflects both regional character and Old World sophistication. Rated 93 Points and 5 Stars by Sam Kim Wine Orbit, it’s a blend that embodies elegance, complexity and balance.

Perfect alongside beef tenderloin, lamb racks with herb crust, roasted mushrooms or a truffled cheese platter, this Bordeaux-style blend is both cellar-worthy and ready to impress now. With the previous vintage winning six international gold medals, this release continues Fox Creek’s legacy of excellence.
