87/100 45

Deliciously bright, juicy red with red berry, black and white pepper and a hint of violets. Pure, focused wine that's "not too heavy and not too light" as well as being highly drinkable. Good food wine that will match a wide range of dishes from savoury seafood to rich red meat.

Tasted: Apr 2011   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $17 (~USD $13)
