Glen Carlou Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Colour: Deep garnet red, with ruby hue.
Aroma: This wine exhibits vibrant aromas of ripe red berries and blackcurrants, entwined with hints of soft spicy oak.
Flavour: Rich cassis and red berry fruits on the palate, with a touch of fine spiciness on the finish.
Finish: The primary berry fruit flavours dominate this Cabernet Sauvignon, yet it has a complexity derived from careful oak maturation. It has soft yet luscious tannins with a rich and lingering finish.
General: The rich berry fruits, balanced tannins and soft finish make this wine a true reflection of Cabernet Sauvignon from Paarl region
