Broken Stone Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz 2006

Name: Broken Stone Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz 2006
Brand: Broken Stone
SKU: 33945

This years Cab/Shiraz blend sees a small percentage of Pinotage in it. The blend shows excellent fruit aromas and it is supported by subtle oak and upfront structure. A wine as serious as the person tending to the meat at a braaivleis. The wine shows lovely aromas of black currents, mulberry, chocolate and spices both on the nose and palate.
