2022 The Pawn El Desperado Red Blend 6 Pack

91 POINTS

Campbell Mattinson - Halliday's Wine Companion

Made with sangiovese, shiraz, tempranillo and montepulciano. This is a juicy, well-flavoured red with 'general appeal' written all over it. It tastes sweet and berried, there's a creamy vanillin overlay, and there's just enough clove-like/savoury inputs to prevent it from seeming one-dimensional. The price is right, too.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

This is a blend of sangiovese, tempranillo and shiraz. Fruit flavour, savouriness, and a decent amount of pucker and chew to the finish. This has food-friendliness written all over it. It’s a dry red wine with cherry-plum flavours as the drivers and fragrant herb/earth notes as afters. It all works nicely. It’s light-ish but it has freshness, feel and interest.
