Oak Lane Merlot / Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Name: Oak Lane Merlot / Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Brand: Oak Lane
SKU: 33022

This 85/15 blend of two noble wines was carefully oaked and made with fruit expression in mind. Dark berries, currants, light spices and hints of mocha are some of the complex flavours this wine offers. Soft, smooth tannins and complimenting balanced acid are also fine characteristics contributing to the wonderful accessibility of this wine.

Independently this wine is exquisite but will also be a fantastic compliment to any meat based dish. Great with Pizza and compliment to many braai (barbecue) dishes.
