Naledi Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Attractively deep and dark in colour with a purple edge. The wine is velvety smooth on the palate with berry fruit, dark chocolate and nutty flavours complemented by a dash of mint. A rich, fat wine that ends with a hint of dryness on the lingering finish.
Serve with red meat dishes; venison is especially recommended.
