93 POINTS & 4 STARS: Bob Campbell MW GOLD MEDAL: New Zealand International Wine Show 2023
"Dense, inky red with chocolate/mocha, red-fleshed plum, cassis and peppery/spice characters. Strongly varietal wine with a dusty texture and lingering finish. The product of a very favourable vintage." - Bob Campbell MW
This is plush and quite generously framed old vine Gimblett Gravels Malbec; an immediately attractive wine with plenty of fine tannin and fresh acidity on the finish.
"Complex layers of bramble, blackberry, and black cherry interplay against the hallmark bright acidity and soft tannins of Decibel Malbec. With it's fruit and spice balance, this is easy to pair with a broad range of flavours, try with grilled vegetables, barbecued meats, or boldly spiced dishes." - Winery Notes
If you like full bodied Italian style reds particularly Amarone then this is a really good everyday drinking alternative. Especially suited for winter meals or perhaps bbq lamb in summer. I’ve just finished ordering some more.
A great range to select from but scored 4 for a 2 day delivery in AKL & challenges in processing my order online.

The Calmel and Joseph, Villa Blanche Malbec, Syrah and Merlot are exceptional wines for day to day drinking. Although different styles of wine, they are all delicious. You won't be disappointed.
