Oak Lane Merlot / Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Name: Oak Lane Merlot / Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Brand: Oak Lane
SKU: 36157

A 89/11 blend of these two varieties, beautifully crafted in a new world style. This fruit driven wine boasts glorious dark currant, berry and sweet cassis flavours, with hints of spice, dark mocha and subtle cigar box. Complimenting firm, ripe tannins and an integrated acid give this wine superb struc-ture and ageing potential.

Great with Pizza and compliment to many ‘braai’ (barbecue) dishes.
