Backsberg Babylons Toren Cabernet/Merlot 2003

This Babylons Toren selection Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend came from low yielding, high density vineyards producing grapes with exceptional flavours of cassis, raspberry and tobacco. Extended skin contact and ageing in small French oak barriques have contributed added complexity via cedar and vanilla characters. Sheer fruit intensity and ample structure will allow this wine to gain further complexity in the bottle over the next ten years.

This blend matches classic evening meals such as roast beef or lamb.
