"Dense, flavoursome Malbec with dark-fleshed plum, tamarillo, sweet herb, spice and floral flavours supported by a backbone of moderately sweet, ripe tannins. An heroic, generously proportioned wine" - Bob Campbell
Think of this wine as a cross between Hawke's Bay Malbec and Beaujolais Nouveau and you're on the track. It shows plush and very juicy Malbec fruits on a palate that is proudly middleweight and approachable - but still showing some underlying hints of Malbec's famous savoury drive. It's a lighter, fresh style of Hawkes Bay red wine that really stands out from the crowd. Very smashable.
I have enjoyed these wines very much - in particular I liked the Belle Vignes which was rich and very flavoursome
The Cabra Cega was a particularly easy drinking quaffing wine.
Still have another 2 bottles left to sample

Great
Great selection, great taste, great value, fast delivery
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
