Editor's Choice Great Value Tasting

Fiona MacDonald - Editor of Wine magazine
Editor's Choice Great Value Tasting
"No, I don't just like this one because it's got a great name. It's an
intriguing imp of a wine which taunts you with hints of all sorts of
things. maybe because Fiona Jack, like brother Bruce, has made this
maverick wine with six different varieties! There's Cabernet sauvignon,
Shiraz, Pinotage, Malbec and even Tinta Barocca and Pinot Noir in the
mix. Try it."
Crafted Red Blend 2003
Cabernet Sauvignon 29%
Shiraz 27%
Pinotage 18%
Malbec 12%
Tinta Barroca 12%
Pinot Noir 2%
Welcoming cerise edge to a dark plum red colour. Cinnamon, nutmeg,
mulberry and blackberry fruit all compete on the nose. A mouthfilling,
soft explosion of dark red, brambly fruit, mint chocolate and the
faintest hint of rosemary on the palate.
Analysis: Alc: 13.5% RS: 2.3 TA: 5.9 pH: 3.57
