This 2022 Juniper Crossing 'Original Red' is an impressive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with small portions of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Offering aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry and plum, the palate is refined with a wonderful array of red and blackberry flavours, cassis; soft, fine tannins and subtle touch of oak. A delicious drinking red wine that offers amazing bang-for-buck at this price.
"92 Points. The warm ‘22 vintage has delivered plenty of solid, rich fruit to this classic blend. This is a Cabernet dominant blend, with the firm varietal core driving the structure of a pleasing and flavoursome red. The Merlot adds plenty of mid-palate flesh, with a mix of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and a slightly black olive nuance that completes this tidy value wine."- Ray Jordan, 'On the Vine' Edition 6 June 2024.
