"Big and opulant with vibrant black cherry, currant and hints of spice".

"Dolcetto, in Italian, means ‘little sweet one’ and gives this wine its fabulous ruby red color and some black cherry and cinnamon characters. Merlot, a traditional blending grape, has loads of bright red fruit flavors. Together, their structure keeps things interesting and the fruit-forward, juicy flavors soft."

"Deep purple in colour. The fragrant nose displays aromas of lifted perfume characters from the Viognier combined with subtle dark berry fruit and a hint of spice and pepper. The palate is elegant and finely balanced displaying dense berry fruit, overtones of spice and finishing with some fine powdery tannins."

"Expansive aromas of cherry-cola, black raspberry, pipe tobacco and cracked pepper. Very rich but lively, offering dense red and dark berry flavors and a hint of licorice. Packs a serious punch and shows a chewy, youthfully tannic quality on the long, penetrating finish. In need of another few years in bottle, but this actually could be drunk soon, following some aeration."

"Ripe shiny blackberry red. Voluptuous cherry, vanilla and peppery spice aromas and full-bodied flavours packed with smoky vanillin oak, cherry and strawberry fruits, chocolate and mocha all wrapped up in a big, rich, velvety smooth package. A juicy wine with fine tannins, the pepper detected on the nose kicks in again to make a welcome re-appearance on the powerful finish. Made from low yielding old vines dating back to 1898 and aged in older French oak, the fruit is sourced from Mildura on the north west Victorian border."
