    I did not like this wine at all. It almost tasted to me like the grapes were spoiled. I tried to drink it several times but ended up pouring it out.

    Small Hours is a great. It is bold enough to be a sipper and enjoy each taste but isn't overpowering either. I like a small glass with a few bites of cheddar or gouda. I love the fun label too

    A highly appealing four-star red, with perhaps the most intriguing and captivating artwork of the entire range. I don't know how anyone could resist trying this wine based solely on the label artwork alone!

    Whilst this wine Falls Somewhat short of the dizzying standards set by five-star stable mates whiskers, BAilando Bonardo, and Tria, it is, nonetheless, a serious contender, which refuses to be ignored, and improves with alacrity as swiftly as the bottle empties.
