Broken Stone Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz/Pinotage 2003

This years Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz blend sees a bit of Pinotage in it. The Pinotage showed excellent fruit aromas and brought a bit to the party what palate goes about. A wine as serious as the person tending to the meat at a braaivleis. The wine shows lovely aromas of violets, herbs, menthol and peppers. The palate is soft with a bit of sweetness on the finish and flavours of raspberry, plums and delicate spice.
