Looking for a Red to go with my brussel/truffle melange...took a stab at this lupine blend from the Cape of Good Hope. Not bad. Nothing killer here though. It DID pack sufficient spice and acidity to cut the egg yolk, which can be an issue. How many times have you seen a "Breakfast Red". Dark fruit, black pepper, earth and a tinge of coffee round it out. The truffles really thrive with the Syrah and Mouvedre in the blend, just like they do with the French Chateneuf Du' Pape. At $7.99 a btl. this stuff would work even better with a little lamb chop and rosemary.
