Jacob's Creek Shiraz Cabernet Vintage 2008

Sheer red. Doesn't tears well. Spicy, doesn't sits well on the tongue, lean body. Unable to swallow this without food. Poor pairing with a Subway sub, but goes excellent with flavourful food such as sauce-drizzled chicken chop. Very good mouth-washer for the Asian heavily flavoured food.

79/100

This tiny bottle came free.

The red is not intense. Feeling tells me it will not be good. I like deep, almost opaque reds.

I have never had a good impression of Jacob's Creek. This one seem to confirm my formed opinion of the brand in general.
I heard that Jacob Creek's $70 - $80 wines are really worth the price. Unfortunately, the lower end seem to have been quite bad so far, that I am afraid to venture further into Jacob's Creek. If you have a specific recommendation, feel free to comment below. =)
