Wine Review: This opaque and very dark purple colored Cabernet from South Africa opens with a new leather and blackberry like bouquet a hint of old oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, juicy and very fruit forward. The flavor profile is black plum with notes of mild minerality. I also detected hints of oak and a touch of fig towards the end. The finish is dry and flavors linger nicely after the wine is gone. This wine would pair well with slow cooked beef brisket. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This charming Cabernet delivers a classic Bordeaux profile, with excellent structure and balance. Complex, rich flavors of black currant, cherry and dark chocolate combine with enticing herbal and spice notes.
