SOLD OUT

Simonsvlei Premier Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot 2008

A light ruby/garnet edge. Lovely blackberry nose with a hint of violet. Fine medium-bodied wine, fruit driven. Merlot gives it a nice soft finish.

Serve with your favourite red meat dish – how about a nice oxtail stew, a spicy chicken dish or a monkey gland rump steak?
