Dad and Dave’s Blend 2005 Vine Vale Shed Red March 08 sells for $15 direct from the winery and is sealed under screwcap. The bouquet shows sweet and spicy characters with plummy fruit, mocha, and a menthol hit at the end. Loads of fruit drive this ample-weight wine with a supple consistency that is very easy drinking. The pleasant cherry, plum, spice flavours, with a slight bitterness on the finish, are overshadowed by the sharp acid. Rated as Agreeable with *** for value.
