Robertson Winery Prospect Hill Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, W.O., Robertson, South Africa: Mocha-blackberry goodness on the nose with supple full-bodied layers of dark fruit on the palate. The vineyard is planted on Zandvliet Mountain at a height of 172 metres facing the southeast, which helps ripen the cabernet grapes yet maintain their balanced acidity as well. Lots of coffee-espresso and dark fruit on the finish. This would be terrific with hearty meat dishes. Decant 1 hour. Drink: 2012-2015. 687814 14% XD 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 90/100.

Great with hearty meat dishes. Drink: 2010-2016. 607796 14% D 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 93/100. May 25, 2013 Top Rated Red Wine. Charming Grilled Chicken Wine Full Review
