Tokara Reserve Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

The nose leads with classic graphitic notes, dark brambleberry interwoven with aromas of five spice. There is a freshness underscoring these aromas with hints of dark blueberry, red currant and fynbos scrub - a classic expression of Simonsberg Cabernet.
The palate is well poised and showcases an effortless balance between fruit purity and tannin weight. Flavours mirror aromas and all lead to a multi-textured, persistent finish.

Pair with grilled steak with Bearnaise sauce or Roast lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic jus, potato dauphinoise and long-stemmed broccoli with lightly toasted almond flakes.
