The Lubanzi red blend of South African Shiraz, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Grenache is a dark ruby wine with a nose and palate to match. Aromas of dark fruit are joined by a strong minerality, with a slightly smoky, savory, leathery whiff above the glass. The palate is fruity in the most savory sense possible. Big black cherry and cassis meet up with earthy herbs and spices. It's a lively wine, with acidity to refresh and tannins to make pairing it with meaty dishes a natural. The twist-off cork makes it super easy to open.

All cinsault to my knowledge. I thought this was delicious! Medium bodied, great chilled red.

Clear, deep ruby to purple in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of black plums, blackberries, and cigar box; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, medium alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of blueberries, tar, black cherries, and black cardamom with a short finish. It probably needs to breath a bit longer. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I/rate this wine as good.

NOSE: cherry … oak … leather … cola … a little smoke.
TASTE: cherry, bitter almond and spices (oregano?) … a little thin, but not bad. Inoffensive, dry red table wine in a can!!! I think this would be great with pasta.
EDIT: I’ve now tried this twice and it really impresses - I retract the “thin” comment. I’m raising the score to 89.
