What reviewers say
“Dark ruby with burgundy to clear rim. Nose has a bit of oxy, hopefully it won't dominate too much, along with some dark berries, leather and old spice. Palate shows some still nice dark fruits, oxy not evident, thankfully, dark chocolate and licorice along with some more spice notes. 14.0% Alc/Vol together with cork closure, which, like the Stoner's Pinot Noir from the night before broke in half with the bottom half disintegrating. Thus a strainer and carafe was called in again! 😖 ▶️”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Full depth crimson with purple hues. Ripe cherry and dark berry with dried herb and spice. Ripe blackberry and plum with attractive mid-palate fruit sweetness. Medium bodied, with soft velvety tannins and subtle toasty oak.
Jacob's Creek Shiraz is an Australian red made from Shiraz Syrah. It is bottled in South Eastern Australia.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 516 other reds from Australia, not against the corpus as a whole. 745 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 775 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Jacob's Creek Shiraz lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Australia (517 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 745.
