"Deep-tinted and moderately intense red with dark-fleshed plum, black-currant, cassis, fresh herb and liquorice flavours. Bright, high-energy wine that offers great value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, The Real Review, Jul 2025

"Aromas and flavours of dark plums and blackberries, there’s a layer of dried spice, blackcurrant and violets, then a light wood smoke quality. Dry with a decent weight and lots of fruit concentration, layers of flavour framed by ripe and fine tannins and a decent level of acidity for freshness and style. Well made (as always)" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jul 2025

"Attractively fruited and fragrant, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, dried herb, game, and assorted nut aromas. The succulent palate delivers silky texture and plump mouthfeel, beautifully structured by polished tannins, finishing long and flavoursome" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2025

It has a deep crimson hue. On the inviting nose there are depictions of blackberry, blackcurrant and damson plum, infused with nuances of liquorice, eucalyptus, black olive tapenade and tobacco. The palate is detailed in layers, with a luscious landing of ripe berry fruit that possesses vitality and concentration. Augmenting this is a wraparound of finely polished tannins and subtle oak, adding a sense of power, and a deliciously long carry.

Main Divide is the local name for the Southern Alps and is the backbone of the South Island, where grapes for Main Divide are exclusively sourced. Vineyards have been selected for their quality and ability to express unique regional flavours.

Settled weather during Spring resulted in successful flowering and a healthy fruit set, meaning crop thinning was needed in some areas. Good heat concentration in early to mid-Summer then allowed the grapes to ripen beautifully. The remainder of Summer and Autumn threw up a mix of hot days interspersed with cooler spells, although rain was sufficiently spread out to ensure the bunches remained healthy and disease free.

This wine is made in the same style as the celebrated Claret from Bordeaux, using traditional methods. After being picked during the second half of April, the grapes began fermentation naturally in stainless steel tanks. During this process the juice was regularly pumped over the cap of floating grape skins (rather than plunging), to ensure a perfect tannin balance was extracted from the fruit. The wine was then gently pressed off and put into French oak barriques. The following summer, when the weather warmed, it underwent a natural malo-lactic (secondary) fermentation. After maturing in oak for 18 months, the various batches were then carefully blended to produce the most complex and balanced wine possible. The finished product is predominantly Merlot, with the balance made up of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Good quality good price.
At under $10/qt for high quality marine full synthetic, this is one of the best deals on Amazon. Other marine oils are upwards of $20/qt where I live and having twin outboards that require a total of 8.5qts each every change, that is a real savings. The other great thing about this oil is it’s packaging. The shape of the container and the pull out spout make it easy to pour. I don’t need to use a funnel with these and I didn’t spill a drop.

High quality oil
Liquid moly oil is great stuff. I bought this for my Honda 9.9 outboard. I’m sure non marine grade oil would have been fine, but for the price and quality of this oil why not use it.
