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.
Lovely ready now dry red. What You expect from down that way with no rough edges and just enough tannin to give it some grunt. Very good value at this price.
Have been buying this wine for years (and years). Consistently delivers a beautiful, savoury rhone wine experience. Definitely punches above its weight. Deep garnet, full bodied, leathery with light spice notes.
Dark, medium to full bodied, with mature flavours starting to evolve. Excellent value, typical Bordeaux wine. Could easily become our house favourite! Delivers very good value for the price.
