| Winery Food Recommendation: |
| A delightful wine perfect for the BBQ. Its velvety texture and red fruit aspect make it ideal for pot roasts, stews, moussaka and creamy cheeses. |

| Description |
Blend: Cabernet Franc/ Baco Noir
Sweetness code: Dry (0)
Alcohol: 12.0%
This wine is soft ruby red in colour. The nose reveals green peppers, dark chocolate, some black pepper spiciness and toasted oak. Soft and smooth in the mouth, the flavours centre on cherry and coffee. |

| submitted by: David Lawrason |
This is a well handled, well priced blend that is bright, modern and juicy with cedar, pepper, leather and currants, almost Chilean on the nose. Mid-weight, tartish and lively; a good burger or pastrami sandwich wine with a sour edge. Good length.
