Woven, fresh, value.
The Veneto's classic Corvina and Molinara grapes are blended with Sangiovese from Masi's ancient Alighieri Valpolicella estate and the result is this woven red with brown spice, wild cherry and plum, balsamic and dark earth, bitter cocoa and espresso aromas. The palate shows good weight and dried fruit sprinkled with spice, wild herbs and espresso.
Fresh, good posture and notable value here.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary

Fleshy, approachable, supple.
This fleshy Shiraz from the historic McWilliam's is a crowd-pleaser which doles out fragrant notes of cedar and cherries, boxwood and mulberry, mocha and baking spices. It's a supple red with generous sweet fruit on in the mouth; plush and warm, it's an approachable and affordable red.

Fresh, spiced, fragrant.
Jammy red cherry and plum aromas are woven with baking spices, licorice root, coffee and bold minty tones atop blueberry and fragrant violets. It's medium+ bodied with notable fresh red fruit flavours along with spice. Lighter bodied than the Toso reserva, it's a more affordable but still tasty weekday option.
A wine for grilled meats, roasted mushroom dishes or hard cheeses or hearty chili.

Fragrant, generous, juicy.
Always tasty and well constructed, the Toso wines offer exceptional value. This Cabernet show off black raspberry and cassis aromas woven with baking spices, licorice, vanilla, mocha and pipe tobacco. The palate is sweet and fresh like the nose; it is awash with wild fresh purple berries dusted with cocoa. It's pleasing and juicy with fine tannins and a persistent finish.
Pair: Barbecued anything, hearty pastas and burgers.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Undressed.

Spicy, value, savoury.
Juicy aromas of cherries and black raspberries are layered with roasted herbs, savoury spices, vanilla and toasted oak. It is supple; sweet fruit lines the palate, it is spicy and concentrated and full-bodied with a smooth finish. A modern and approachable red everyday red.
