This Rhône blend based on Shiraz and Cinsault from South Africa, makes a perfect low-cost introduction to the wines of Swartland. Aromas of raspberry, licorice, spices, black pepper and earth lead to a savory, creamy palate with terrific intensity and lift. Balanced to enjoy now or to hold. (ST)

Some smoked meat and leather on the nose but also cherries and coffee. Intense arrival on the palate, good body and complexity. Soft acidity and tannins in the development. I also recognize some cocoa in here.

Nice, mellow, balanced. Notes of canteloupe? I don't know. It's good esp for the price.
