Deep pink in color with cherry notes. Palate was savoury with some raspberry flavours. Very good if you like the style.

Juicy fruit (raspberry? I'm not the best at identifying my berry fruit) but still some balanced tannins. Lovely especially for its price, which is around $16 in the chains. Great value.

Wasn't quite as smooth as I'd hoped. Drinkable for the price.

I've made an edit to this review. Wine was much better on day 2. Lost a lot of the strong flavours on opening and was much more balanced after a longer breathing period.
