Love this wine — tremendous value and perfectly balanced. It has good body and the tannins, acidity, and alcohol all make their presence known. The oak is present but not overbearing and the wine is very drinkable young. It has bright red fruit flavors with some hints of smoke and pepper.

A beautiful South African Bordeaux blend. If this were from Napa, it would be $75. But this one is a hair over $20.

Black currants and strawberries; slight bell pepper with a whisper of burnt sage. It is balanced, it has incredible weight, and the acid to tannin ratio is on point. Love is the word!
