Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

I was shocked to see the price of this! I am sure this will be a crowd pleaser and a great option if you're entertaining a crowd, maybe for a family gathering as we ease out of pandemic restrictions? Smooth, with lots of dark fruit notes along and smoky hints. Medium bodied, soft, and fruit forward with a hint of smoke and spice on the finish. Enjoy with any grilled burgers, sausages, or veggie kebabs.
Deborah Podurgiel - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Excellent value on this made for the BBQ wine. Dry, medium-plus-bodied and savoury with dried herbs, dried strawberries and a smattering of cracked pepper on the palate. Like the wine label suggests, this is a smooth and silky red and when slightly chilled the fruit flavours in this wine are more fresh and lifted. Not complex, don't overthink it, but perfect if you're doing a mixed grill of burgers, ribs, BBQ chicken and sweet chili prawns.
