Idiom Cabernet Sauvignon / Pinotage / Cabernet Franc / Merlot 2007 (Cape Blend)

A velvety opulent wine made with the Cape's own grape Pinotage, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Intriguing multilayered aromas, flavours and textures. Notes of dark berry, liquorice and cloves. Subtle tannins and a beautifully crafted finish are the hallmarks of this lively wine.

A lovely juicy steak.
