Cederberg Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Name: Cederberg Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Brand: Cederberg
SKU: 32763

Ripe dark fruit with cassis and blackcurrants, laced with a subtle sweet vanilla undertone from the oak. The elegant oaking expresses hints of smokiness and tabacco leaf creating a complex wine with a velvety finish on the palate. This wine can mature for up to 8 years in bottle, allowing the wine to develop into its true character.. A prime example of a well crafted South African Cabernet sauvignon.

Expect this wine to mature gracefully in the next 8 years.
