87/100 45

Bright, fresh and youthful wine with a strong fruit focus revealing almost succulent ripe berry and plum flavours. Deliciously drinkable red that reminds me of Barbera d’Alba from northern Italy. Accessible and appealing wine.

Tasted: Jul 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $28 (~USD $24)
