Rich blend. Sweet enough for after dinner.

Very smooth and fruity wine. Easy drinking with just enough structure to lift it above an everyday wine.

Sweet and spicy with a fruity finish. Tastes like a combination of a Cabernet and a Pinot Noir.

2018 Currant Bun CabSauv enjoyed on July 1, 2020, the birthday of our 2nd grandson, whose parents have already nicknamed him Bun Jr. (his 4 year old sister is Bun 1). Maybe we were unduly influenced by the joyful occasion, but we found this wine charming - tart and crisp.

Ripe fruit on the nose, somewhat a fragrance of semi dried fruit like apricots and sultanas. Mild to no tannins, medium to full bodied, has a sweetness akin to naturally dried fruits, which is not at all overpowering. This could be food! I wouldn’t waste it to accompany food, but will let food accompany the wine. Go for full flavored robust cheddars, pasta and pizza with tomato based sauce, or a hearty minestrone. Aptly named after a pastry Currant Bun. Imagine hot cross buns with sultanas or raisins.
