Uncle Dick has some ripper wines in his historic rat-infested cellar. He was the youngest son of founder Frank and his collection offers up a treasure trove of value-driven wines, including the delicious ball buster, Red Brute Sparking Shiraz. Such was his generous character that postage is thrown in for free on carton orders of a dozen.
His Malbec is lighter than the Second Innings version. Bright garnet to purple in colour. An attractive nose of violets, raisins and dark fruit aromas is followed by a texturally smooth palate displaying round plummy, dark cherry and blackberry flavours. Some notes of pepper and spice. Well-balanced and very easy to drink. Uncle Dick has fashioned a wine that drinks far better than its price would suggest. A real bargain buy.
