Inconsistent

Began buying this wine around the beginning of 2013 and was really impressed by the quality of the wine at the price. However, recently ordered 12 bottles online and we have found some bottles not so consistent amongst the same case. Notwithstanding, those that are consistent provide a rich and deliciousl great quality wine for the price.

When it's on offer , this makes a brilliant house red. Medium bodied , not too dry or fruity. Nobody will be offended by this little number.The five stars is only given taking into account the price. It's not a brilliant wine. It is a brilliant wine for a fiver.
Most drinkable!

We enjoy a variety of red wine, and for 'ordinary' drinking, I look for good value. This is not only good value, but very versatile, accompanying red meats, pasta and nibbles!
A good one.

Lots of body and plenty of fruit with a distinct spiciness which adds interest and a different note.

We were put onto this wine as a cheaper alternative to Amerone della Valpoiicella. Not quite as gutsy as the Amarone but a very good wine at the price, especially when you buy it with "double up" points. Mellow, full-bodied, lovely wine..
