Beyerskloof Synergy Cape Blend 2008

Name: Beyerskloof Synergy Cape Blend 2008
Brand: Beyerskloof
SKU: 29880

Rich, dark colour, with tones of ruby red for this Cape blend. Smokey, char notes, warm fruitiness and citrus flavours on the nose. Very forthcoming dark fruit and cedar oak aromas on the nose. Spicy and rich on a bold palate. Good grip and big tannin. Plum pudding warmth with some medicinal notes. Pinotage exuberance play hide and seek in this 'Cape' marriage. A good structured wine with great complexity and balance.

This rich, powerful yet elegant red is a wonderful partner to red meat, game, cheese and spicy foods.
