Cederberg Five Generations Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

A premium wine in the Cederberg Range. Limited 3400 bottle production. The 18 months of maturation in new French oak has intensified the rich aromas of blackcurrant and cassis, layered with decadent dark chocolate and cherry tobacco. A lingering velvety texture on the palate with ripe tannin structure, which gives this wine the potential to mature for another 12 years.
