Alto Wine Estate
Alto Rouge Red Blend
Deep inky Ruby color, aromas of black and blue fruits with spice and earthy scents. On the palate flavors of plum and blackberry with smoky spice and cacao. This full-body wine had dusty tannins, ok balance, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice, oak and earthy character. Serve this with a chop dressed with garlic and herbs!

Apr 4th, 2024Terrific quality South African Bordeaux blend at a great value. Shiraz, cab sav, cab Franc, merlot and petite verdict blend perfectly to form a silky smooth well balanced wine. Recommended decant for 1.5 to fully open. Really superb notes of dark black fruit, cerise, plum, blackberry and notes of oaky aging with subtle vanilla and tobacco. 8.9/3.9
