Wine maker Garry Crittenden is exuberant about this wine, claiming a big "WOW! What a wine even if I do say so myself." Now lets see what the wow wowing is all about! Medium weight, crimson red colour with a hint of mauve. The nose is lifted,with aromas of spicy blood plum and a hint of cinnamon spice. On the palate the flavours of ripe plums persist. Good weight and body but relatively simple. Easy drinking now, fine soft tannins and spicy plum aftertaste. A good everyday wine, but nothing to wow about!
