"A very drinkable wine and with a degree of complexity which stands out among wines we have had in this price range. Shades of dark cherry which linger on the palate. Very good value."

"It's a nice £7 bottle of wine but nothing that merits a fourth star. Very easy to drink straight form the bottle as another reviewer commented. I would probably buy again unless I found something better at the price."

"I don't often get a six quid bottle of wine these days. This one gets five stars for the price to quality ratio, which is outstanding. I have had less pleasing bottles for twice the price from the Wine Society (no offense). OK, it had a tiny bit of acidity but it was fruity, which is what I like."

"Cranberry, redcurrant, vanilla, cherry and marzipan. Perfectly quaffable but nothing special. We think Domaine Laborie is much better."

"Pleasant without being memorable. Big taste but without much 'top', and a short finish. Perfectly ok at the price there are probably many more interesting 'everyday' reds. "

"A fantastic approachable wine that is great for both the table and standalone drinks. Medium bodied, with no nasty after taste left on the palette.
On the nose, it's a simple affair: fruity notes dominated by blackberries.
Quite drinkable and fantastic value for money. We would be happy to take this wine to any party.
This will become a regular order if quality continues.

"In my opinion £6.50 is about right for this wine and I do not see it as the bargain that the majority seem to. Too fruity for me and I cannot taste the Malbec which probably tempted me in the first place. Going back to the Society’s CDR for mid week."

Mr Roger Brooke
"My on/off relationship with red wine is back on with this. The main factor for me is can I drink it without food and the absence of mouth puckering tannins. This wine fits the bill and, even better, it falls within the cheaper reds that the WS does so well. I recommend this with pleasure."

"A very smooth, mellow red. Not too sweet, not too dry and eminently glugable with or without food. I'll certainly be back for more of this one - if you guys have left me any! :-)

For £6.50 a bottle this represents great value for money. Have had bottles at four times the price that I haven’t enjoyed as much. Will definitely be buying some more. "

"A very fruity, medium bodied young red. A pleasant surprise for weekday drinking (does this sound like a problem? #Yikes). This, along with the Domain Laborie 2019 is my favourite daily driver. Haven't found better value than these two inside the society yet."

"A laidback Malbec ??
You know how sometimes you want a nice red? Still quite good and interesting - not just cheep and cheerful, but nor full on?
Well this one strikes a perfect balance, with Cabernet Franc taking the edge of Malbec, but keeping it full flavoured.
Very nice.
Definitely recommended. "
