Knorhoek Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Cranberry, cassis, berry flavour on the pallet. Textured, juicy fruit, with chalky tannins. Beautifully integrated and balanced oak. Initial aromas of red berries, leads through to layered profiles of sour cherry, flint and leather, rounding off into a plummy richness on the mid-palate and finishing off with soft, velvety tannins.
