Hits well above its price point with a sweet fruited, bold and tasty wine experience. The powerful, inviting scent offers an explosion of black cherries, red plums, red liquorice, florals and high spices with nutmeg, cinnamon. It’s so plummy and accessible, totally inviting and full of flavour with an inner energy that keeps on going. Those black and red fruits steal the show with strong support from a deep vein of spice. The palate’s smooth, balanced, richly fruited and full of Riverland warmth and generosity.
