Pretty crushable little Rhône-ish blend. Tasty & structured enough with no rough edges. Better than most Côtes-du-Rhône at the same price point, but that ain't saying much. Good party wine, hilarious back label copy.

Rhône style blends are not my usual favorite, but I’m curious about South African offerings. It was what I expected, that saying a great pairing for pizza or pasta. I didn’t find a lot of subtlety but I enjoyed it. Wasn’t oak-heavy which I appreciate.
