Botha Kelder Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2013

Bold and intense with liquid silk texture, subtle cabernet notes of cassis, chocolate and fresh herbs. Only the best, hand-selected grapes went into this Reserve. Upfront flavors of ripe red and black berry fruit, cigar-box, spices, blackcurrant, chocolate and vanilla notes. Full bodied mouth feel with well integrated tannins.

Ideal with meaty dishes and mature cheese.
