Jon Steeves rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

This is a warm climate merlot with lots of red berry, ripe plum and black berry fruit on the nose and palate. A choice option for low price point seeking lovers of fruit-forward medium-bodied Australian reds. Pair with BBQ burgers , mesquite fajitas, chicken nachos. Tasted Jan 2017. Rated 85/100.

Monique Sosa rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Floral, ripe berry and dusty tannins. Acidity is dearly missed. Light bodied with a short finish. Crowd pleaser maybe? Enjoy with Doritos and jalapeño cheese dip. Rated Jan 2017 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
