Deep garnet in colour. A bouquet of black cherries, blackberries, cloves and allspice with a hint of cinnamon. Rich, juicy, ripe plum and almond on the palate; firm ripe tannins give the wine its complex structure. Serve with curried butternut soup; rolled sirloin with red wine and mushroom sauce; casseroled shoulder of Karoo lamb; roast leg of venison; grilled pork sausages, breast of duck with creamy peppercorn sauce; herb stuffed quail; and lasagne.
