Overgaauw Pinotage Cabernet Franc 2000

John Platter - 4 stars
A fruity dry red wine. Colour – brilliant red. Medium bodied with cherry and raspberry flavours. Cab Franc character shows stronger and as the wine matures the Pinotage flavours will become more dominant. A lively fruit-driven palate with soft tannins. A wine for many occasions!
