Bon Courage Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Veritas 2007 - Bronze
A classic red from a noble cultivar; this complex wine features rich flavours of fresh berries and a slight nuttiness. Ripe plum, strawberry, black cherry mingles with vanilla and peppery spice on the nose. Full rounded mouth with clean toast oak backing. Rounded mouth moves into supple tannin finish. It is a finely balanced wine to suit every discerning palate and will gain 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.
