Nice complexity and good finish, classy, a steal
This was a tasty blend that can be enjoyed by itself or with an array of foods. Nice BBQ wine.
Gentlemen, thank you for pointing us in the right direction. Excellent value. Quite rewarding; it's definitely zesty and the chocolate is there. Who could ask for more, these days at the LCBO, in a $15 wine.
A ripe, smooth South African wine with depth and length. A shade too much oak for my personal taste but it is in balance with the fruit. Very fine for $15. Nice rec by JS and DL. How can they produce such a good wine and ship it half way around the world and it still retails for $15 is amazing. Tasted Feb 2015.
Blend of 37% Shiraz, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec. Medium+ aromatic intensity with complex herbal, wild dark/red berry fruit, currant, cassis and elegant oak aromas. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with ripe, supple tannins and flavours of red/black fruits, black cherry, black currant, vanilla and chocolate. Good, balanced acids and a medium-long finish. Tasted May/2015. Score: 88+ pts
