Deep dark black ink colour. An alluring bouquet of dark forest
blackberries and notes of warmth inviting you to partake. At
times like this you know the nose does most of the pre-judging.

For a solid tasty red try this wine. The grapes are
predominantly from the Fairhall Estate vineyard in
Marlborough. It is fermented on the skins, and matured
in barrique barrels for a year. It has a deep ruby colour
and an oak and fruity blackberry and plum bouquet.
The gutsy fruity taste lingers in the mouth. It goes well
with red meats or stews and may suit a smelly cheese.

This maker astounds us in a market laden with over-priced wines. These are all
just good honest value for money styles that give incredible complexity and
flavour for your dollar. This Merlot shows a restrained cigar box nose,
sweet leathery fruit with chocolate hints and good structure. A fruit
driven wine with attractive softness on the finish. Stash the odd case away!

Moreish factor of 2 to 6 -
is our a quick scoring technique we use to judge the
drink ability of a wine
e.g. 6/6 would be the highest score we use when you want
more and possibly find it difficult to share the
"last drop" with others. Now forget all other complicated
judging techniques, in the end it comes down to:-
