• Australian Gourmet Pages Franz Scheurer June 2008  “If I were a label drinker then this one would sing to me. It's a brilliant design, eye-catching and meaningful. The wine does the label justice. There are Cabernet notes like green capsicum on the nose and some red berries, which I would attribute more to Merlot. On the palate it's an elegant wine, despite 14.5% a/v, which is no shrinking violet. Capsicum flavours are persistent and rounded out by plum and spicy, savoury notes, all held together perfectly by integrated tannins. This is a terrific wine to be enjoyed with food and it will stand up to strong, spicy flavours, as long as there is not a lot of chilli heat in the food. Mind you, I also enjoyed it late one afternoon, when I finally finished work, just with a couple of 'Taralli Finocchio', gorgeous little round, dry biscuits from Puglia (sold by Simon Johnson Purveyor of Good Food).”
