Ripe and open-textured, this is impressive for the way it packs in the cherry, blackberry and raspberry flavors and doesn't take the foot off the gas pedal until the mineral-inflected finish has played through. Drink now through 2018. Best Value. Score - 90. (Harvey Steiman, www.winespectator.com, Sept. 30, 2009)

Is Australia considered new world? No? Well their wine sure is.

Yet another "cleverly" named wine from D'arenberg, this Rhone blend is light, sweet, fruity and ... well, boring.

Raspberry, strawberry and a touch of candy apple. All a bit too modern for my palate. I missed the earthy, savory dimension found in it's Rhone counterparts.

Nothing offensive here, just a simple sipper aiming to please.
