Notes
-----
The color is a very dark garnet, almost black. This wine
shows strong legs. It has a medium-strength nose of jammy
berries--blackberry, raspberry. The flavor, though, is a bit
thin and watery, with vague fruit, high acidity, and an
element of bitterness. There's also a sort of weird finish
that alternates between jammy fruitiness and bitterness.

I bought this wine because it was available in a
quarter-bottle, perfect for a single big glass, and I'd seen
the brand around and thought that it might be similar to
Yellowtail or Rosemount, other reasonably-priced Australian
wines. I haven't tasted Yellowtail lately, but this is
certainly no Rosemount. I can't say that I would find it
that bad in a blind tasting, but I don't think I'll buy it
again.

Additional Notes
----------------
I purchased this at $1.89/quarter bottle.
