Lively deep purple colour. Clear bright and inviting. Clean and reserved nose with good cassis, berries and a hint of chocolate. Ripe fruit and spice and layered oak create wonderful complexity. Full bodied, big bold wine with rich ripe vibrant fruit. The nose follows well to the palate. The balance of the fruit and tannin is excellent. This is a classy, elegant expression of a Cape blend. Long lingering finish.
A definite food wine. Enjoy it with any of the following, but do not forget to include your friends.1. Rack of Lamb with rosemary roast potatoes2. Rolled loin of Kudu3. Selection of Cape Cheeses
