Tasting Notes
In keeping with the style of the award-winning 2019 vintage and showing the distinctive character of a classic Cabernet Sauvignon, the complex nose reveals rich aromas of juicy black cherries, plums and blackcurrants followed by fragrant cedar wood and tobacco notes. The nose follows on to a full, rounded palate of developing flavours of black olives, cassis, and subtle oak spice, with some fine, ripe tannins that give a long, soft finish. This elegant, fresh Cabernet has a well-balanced mouthfeel and a clean black fruit farewell.
Michael Fridjhon – Wine Wizards – “Cerise-edged, black crimson. Slightly smoky dark fruit aromas, hints of cassis, whiffs of floor polish, black olive and chocolate. Still nuanced and fresh on the palate, attention between Morello cherry, bilberry and savoury tannins. Forward, still quite primary, food-friendly.”
Suggested Food Pairing
Bacon-wrapped blue cheese stuffed dates or a savoury mushroom tart would make the perfect start to your meal followed with a good juicy steak, especially slightly fattier steaks like ribeye and sirloin, slow-braised lamb shanks, venison, ostrich, or duck. Grilled portobello mushrooms, eggplant dishes or a smoky black bean burger are great plant-based alternatives. End your meal with a cheese and nut board especially hard cheese like aged cheddar, gorgonzola, and hazelnuts, or enjoy with fresh berries with zabaglione, a blackberry sorbet, or some dark chocolate.
