| Verdict | Black cherry and plum lead a rounded red with soft tannins, tart cherry, and a lightly drying grape-skin finish. | A light Western Cape red blend that keeps blackberry and plum in check, with fine tannin and a dry oak shadow — then exits sooner than you want. | Raspberry, plum, and vanilla frame a smooth, softly tannic red with gentle oak and balanced acidity. |

| Likeness | — | High for a nonalcoholic red: blackberry, plum, and oak stay in a wine register rather than a juice one. | — |
