Kerrie –
For a red lover, this wine was awesome. I particularly liked the mixture of red and black fruits here. I can see this working really well as a warm winter red but it still was rather good this past summer. Cheers!

This one sounded good in the description and it was excellent when we drank it. I served it for roast dinner with my family and it went very well. It is one of those warm chocolatey spicy reds that you can take your time over. A good concentration of flavours that lasted a long time.

An interesting wine that was perhaps a little too full bodied for me. I drink more medium bodied wines and thought I would try this one. It did have some lovely fruit though.

I am a new convert to this region. This is one of my favourites. There is so much going for it. The tannins are very silky, there is some delicious chocolate and spicy notes to the black cherry fruit. It was full bodied and rounded yet still fresh.
