Paradyskloof Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2007

Attractive and bright red hues. Good fruitiness with raspberry overtones and a hint of herbaceousness on the nose. There is a degree of complexity to the aromatics of this wine that makes it a pleasure to drink. The palate shows a leather meatiness with a good smokey character balanced by fruit on the aftertaste – it is an ideal food wine for a variety of dishes. The balance between fruit and tannin and acidity makes the wine refreshing to drink.

An uncomplicated, summer lunch wine which would be excellent with all fresco Italian food, with its up front fruitiness and peppery undertones. The structure and mouth feel is soft and accessible, which improved with food.
