This is one of those wines where the point is not the correct expression of  grape, the terror, a truck load of fruit descriptors or fancy oak treatment. It is, however, a good bet for putting it down your neck at a party,   or when  you’re standing next to a BBQ, maybe with a coupe of lamb chops while watching the girls on Masterchef screw up their suckling pig…

The nose is open and inviting, plenty of nice, warm fruit with a bit of vanilla and mocha. Round and a bit fleshy in the mouth, good length on the finish with tangy acid. Savory and moreish. A solid, juicy kind of thing, great for washing down grilled meats. 87 Pts.
