Natalie's Score: 90/100

Kanonkop Kadette is a dry and full-bodied red blend of 37% Pinotage, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot from the Stellenbosch wine region. The wine was matured up to 24 months in French oak barrels. Complex, intense and beautifully-crafted with layers of dark plum, red berry, cassis, dried wild herbs, pepper spice ending long an luxurious on a briny mineral note. So well-crafted and well-priced at $20. Drink or hold.

Food pairings: game roasts, grilled venison sausages, roast partridge.
