Tasting profile
A smooth, medium-bodied red leaning Malbec in style, showing dark fruit like blackberry, plum, and blueberry alongside hints of chocolate and tobacco. Complex but approachable, dry enough to pair with red meat yet highly drinkable, especially after a short decant.
Synthesized from 311Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Was looking for a medium read and did not disappoint. Was craving a Malbec and this just had a little less spice making it highly drinkable”

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Red Schooner Transit 2 lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Australia (517 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 311.
