Natalie's Score: 93/100

From the Elgin wine region, Iona One Man Band 2018 is a unique blend of Syrah, Petit Verdot and Mourvèdre with a splash of Viognier added to the mix. Fragrant with pink florals, ripe dark plum and dark berry compote, the wine is dry, full-bodied and generous with dark berry jam, pepper spice and smoky vanilla flavours warming and long on the palate. Tannins are firm. A really interesting red wine blend from South Africa, try it with chops from the grill or a game sausage cassoulet.

Red food pairings: bobtje, tourtiere, bison burgers.
