Cederberg Cederberger 2004

Michelangelo Awards 2006 - Silver Medal
John Platter 2006 - 3.5 Stars
This dry red blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Pinotage and (for the first time) 20% Shiraz. Beautiful ripe berry fruits with smokey aromas & well integrated juicy tannins. It is already approachable and ready to drink, but should improve in the next four years.

The best partner for a rich game dish, but also excellent to accompany a braai.
