TASTING NOTES
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
A great wine comes from a vineyard with a great view. Grown on the last farm before the peak of the majestic Helderberg, this Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful yet elegant. Think terrific fruit, a full body and ripe, well- integrated tannins - it’s the whole package. The best part is that it is just beginning to open and show secondary nuances. Cellar it, and you will be rewarded - if you have the patience, that is.
Deep ruby red in the glass, this rich yet perfumed wine is a merry-go-round of aromas, starting with blackcurrant and violets and moving to concentrated cedar and pencil lead. Waves of blackberries and cedar dance across the palate, accompanied by supple, ripe tannins. The wine is energetic and delightfully smooth, ending in a long, balanced crescendo.
A must with meat. Serve with chargrilled sirloin or rib-eye steak and parmesan truffle fries or as a welcome accompaniment to a hearty roast vegetable cassoulet.
