Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Fleshy and full-bodied with plush, mouth-filling flavours of black raspberry and blackberry with some dark spice on the finish. Food matches: spaghetti bolognese.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Over the past 20 years, we've experimented with blending. A lot. And what we discovered with full-bodied red wines is that often the sum is greater than the parts. The sum in this blend is as follows: Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), Merlot (23%), Cabernet Franc (20%), Malbec and Syrah (2%). And the fun part is that the power of blending often over-delivers in quality.
