Top Notes For

8.1

A sweet dessert type red blend of Shiraz and Pinotage.

Medium ruby colour in appearance.

On the nose smokey, cherry, and caramel notes.

On the pallet sweet blackberry jam, mocha. Medium-bodied and fruity wine.

This was good with a baked brie cheese and cracker plate.

Although I bought this for the name which made me smile, it's sweetness did not.

Stumbled upon this fruity wine and really liked it. On the sweet side like I like it. Great wine for the price.
