80/100 35

Moderately deep, purple-hued wine with fresh berry flavours and a pleasantly drying finish. Perhaps it’s slightly simple and a tad too exhuberantly gutsy but these are minor quibbles when you consider the wine’s bargain price tag of $12.

Tasted: Aug 2007    Average price: NZD $12 (~USD $9)
