| 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. | Research record |

| Sweetness Differs | — | Dry | Research record |
| Body Differs | — | Light body | Research record |
| Acidity Differs | — | Moderate acidity | Research record |
| Likeness | — | High for a nonalcoholic red: blackberry, plum, and oak stay in a wine register rather than a juice one. | Research record |
