Bright ruby-red. Crushed blackberry, blueberry, licorice and smoky oak on the nose, with a whiff of flowers. Supple, broad and easy to drink, with an enticing dark berry sweetness nicely buffered by lively herb and flint notes. Finishes with rather soft tannins and lingering notes of redcurrant and plum.
88 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar/Apr 11)
Accessible and available, this is a great value wine that’s perfectly suited to grilled steak dinners with friends. Juicy dark fruit dominates the palate, with accents of bittersweet chocolate and peppery spice glimmering on the back of finish.
