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:

Pretty field berry and cherry aromas with a lovely, zingy acidity for refreshment. Vibrant, alive and bone-dry. The Ultimate Picnic Wine! Food matches: South Island gravad lax and a fresh green salad in a light vinaigrette.

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:
This wine has raspberry, blueberry and red
plum notes. The palate is long and elegant,
displaying lovely cherry fl avours. The winemaker has 'stopped' the ferment early to leave a small amount of residual sugar, producing mid-palate weight. The naturally occurring acidity gives the wine freshness and balances the sugar, leaving the palate dry and fl avoursome.
