Pepper Series by name and Pepper Series by taste. An Aldi exclusive from Mount Langi Ghiran, it sees 15% new French oak for twelve months. It's good buying for $16.
Peppered steak, red currants and red berries launch at you. An array of spices curl around the mouth encasing red and dark plummy fruit. Red berries continue to unfurl and hold themselves well. A respectable length with a tense finish and a firm acidity. A meatiness highlighted by salami has the last say. A wine that will win its fair share of friends at this price point, it's nicely done.
Drink to three years.
