Te Aro Estate Joker's Grin 2008
A good example of the blend working, for the component parts to each have their say and to deliver a wine of fair value and good drinking.
Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot (41/ 41/ 18% respectively) together offer juicy berry aromatics firmly in the black spectrum. Clean and straightforward from the off, over time each constituent part gets the opportunity to speak their lines a little further: leafy Cabernet, rounder mouthfeel from the Merlot and good spicy length from Shiraz.
All up fair generosity, a hint of peppery spice adding to some length and providing a little detail. Easy drinking and rather more-ish in that classic soft, fruit-driven generous style. 89 - Good
