Beyerskloof Faith Cape Blend 2008

Dark plum red colour with bright edges. On the nose this wine is warm, welcoming and intriguing with tar, violet and salty tang aromas. On the palate it is Soft, even delicate. Slightly sweet with fruity notes, but not overripe. Entry gives way to luxurious roundedness, beautiful broad tannins, understated with complexity and promise.
