Bon Courage Inkará Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

John Platter 2008 - **** Stars - Latest 05 softer, fleshier version similarly flavoured to pvs: mocha, dried prune, less cedar though. So seductively flavoured & well clad, vg structure goes unnoticed. 18 – 24 months new French oak.
Veritas 2007 - Bronze
2007 SA Terroir Wine Awards - Robertson District and Swellendam District Terroir Awards: Top Cabernet Sauvignon

Jacques Bruwer, the winemaker initiated a flagship range, called Inkará. Inkará is a play on his children’s names (Inge, Karli and André) and it pays tribute to the fourth generation of Bruwer’s on the Estate.
Since its launch in 2001, this premium range has proven to produce excellent wines. These wines are produced only from single vineyards. Both the Inkará Shiraz and Inkará Cabernet Sauvignon have been recognized for their superior quality.
A classic red from a noble cultivar; this complex wine features rich spicy flavors and smokiness on the nose. It is a finely balanced wine to suit every discerning palate and will achieve greater body and a more velvet feel with another two years of careful cellaring.

It calls for good quality meat dishes including steak, stews or a roast and can be enjoyed with a selection of cheeses.

Dave Hughes - Internationally acclaimed wine writer :
Another fine new introduction. Blackberry, cherry and herbs dominate big nose. Clean oak backing with hints of vanilla and spice. Big, rounded mouth with layers of developing flavour. Sweet fruit in abundance with lively, well-rounded tannins. Long sweet fruited, tannin backed, finish. Fairly accessible now but will well reward ¾ years and will develop over another 5 to 6. Gorgeous wine that needs food and friends.

ageing : Drink now but can be aged for 4 years laying down.

in the vineyard : Age of vineyards: 4 - 6 years
