TASTING NOTE: This unabashed delight is underpinned by ripe tannin and framed by excellent tangy acidity. It barrels from the glass with lifted aromas of sweet vanilla, baking spice and black cherry before coating the palate with a medium-full bodied mouthful of black currant and ripe sweet mulberry carried along on a spine of pie cherry and passion fruit flavour. This is balanced and brimming with ripe fruit. Score - 4 Stars (out of 5) (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, Jan. 16, 2017) Price $ 18.95
