"Polished, plush and generous with its cinnamon and citrus peel-accented plum and cherry flavors, hinting at roasted meat on the smooth finish. Drink now through 2015."

"Many modern $11 reds are tricked up with residual sugar and oak chips. This honest McLaren Vale wine is different. Mixed berry, sweet spice and earthy aromas introduce a medium intensity drop with a savoury, fine finish."
