Other words on the label: Southeastern Australian "Ripper"
The nose is very fruity—tart, unripened blackberries with a hint of creme anglaise on top.
This wine has a lot of bite. Basil and blackberries are the flavors that rise to the top and combined, they make me think of a stir-fry. It's an intriguing flavor combination, which raises it just above an olive rating.
I’ve been wine tasting for years now, but I like to think I approach it from the average consumer’s perspective. I believe the average consumer can appreciate when a cabernet franc boasts deep flavors or that first effervescent sip of vinho verde conjures up delightful summertime memories. But more often than not, they just want an affordable glass of wine that tastes delicious while lounging by the TV.
