What reviewers say
“Ótima complexidade nesse interessante cabernet sauvignon australiano! O vinho tem uma característica interessante: segundo descrito no rótulo, cerca de 20% das uvas passam por um processo de passificação por 2 meses. Sua coloração é violácea.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Deep crimson, with brick red hues. Jester Cabernet shows liquorice, nutmeg and cassis notes which provide a lift to the subtle hints of French oak. Well rounded on the palate, the firm tannins are complemented by nuances of chocolate, blackcurrant and earth.
From McLaren Vale in Australia, Mitolo Jester Cabernet Sauvignon is a red. At $41.99 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $30–60 band.
1,054 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 1,101 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 516 other reds from Australia, not against the corpus as a whole.
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 Mitolo Jester Cabernet Sauvignon 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 1,054.
