Africa Bomvu Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz 2008

Rich plum colour. Primary dark fruit, tobacco, spice and herbaceous hints on the nose. Deeper aromas of bacon and earth lifted by dark berries. The palate has an edgy spiciness to it with dry pronounced tannins.

The lively acidity adds to the wine which is suited to foods that contain some smokey elements, as well as robust meat and tomato components.
