Look for robust aromas and flavours of dried and crushed fruits, savoury herbs and buckets of juicy black cherry. There's good structure, deft balance and a lengthy dry finish. Pair with spicy back ribs or pasta in a bolognese sauce. Stunning value here. Order now, by the case, from Rob Beardall at This email address is being protected from spambots.
