Decibel Giunta Crunchy Red 2022

Two wines in one! Chill it down for a stylish light red then watch it evolve as it warms to develop a spicy edge and crunchy finish. This is a light and juicy Hawke's Bay blend of Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Merlot designed to be enjoyed lightly chilled.

The nose is grainy, brambly with hints of violets and tamarillo growing into notes of blackberry and blueberry pie. Some hints of all spice and confection notes also persist. Dark preserved-cherry, menthol, and liquorice flavours. Bit of a buzz of energy in the mouth. Very refreshing finish. Light but persistent tannins.

ABV: 12.5%

Value

Rates with good Zinfandel

Good Value Barbera

This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.

Just right

Drinking really nicely at 5 years and a fair price

Cotes du Rhone.

A lovely well balanced red. One of the best Cotes du Rhone I have tasted.

Real value for money

I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
