Oak Lane Merlot / Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

These two noble varieties have been beautifully crafted in a new world style. A fruit driven wine boasting glorious dark currant, berry and sweet cassis flavours, with hints of spice, dark mocha and subtle cigar box.

Truly a wine for all occasions. Great with Pizza and compliment to many braai (barbecue) dishes.
