RATINGS & REVIEWS

91 points & Red Star Special Value, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion - 'A blend of 60/20/20% shiraz/cabernet sauvignon/merlot. A pale, bright copper. You will find red berries, spice and a little blood orange on the nose while the palate is dry, finishing with tangy acidity. Serve cold, but not too much so, with summer fare'.
