Bon Cap Private Cellar Cape Blend 2006

From our premium selected vineyards, this wine was aged in 100% new French oak for 18 months and further bottle aged until now.  It displays both the individuality of each cultivar and the harmony brought by blending and ageing. Black berry fruit and earthy, savoury undertones with spice oak integration and a med full, very long satin structured palate makes this a complete and multidimensional wine.  To be enjoyed with venison and hearty red meat dishes.
