**The Saltress Red Blend — Spier**
Every so often a wine punches well above its price, and Spier’s The Saltress is exactly that. Cabernet Sauvignon-led and softened with Merlot, it offers ripe raspberry and plum with balanced tannins and a lingering finish. It has paired beautifully with both meat and poultry, and alongside blends at double the price it more than holds its own. Simply one of the best red blends we have tasted at this price — excellent value.
