Full-bodied and well-structured with black fruit aromas and flavours. There's also smoke, dark spices and coffee on the palate and finish. Complex, concentrated and energetic. This wine is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc grapes. Decant 2 hours. Enjoy with the good life.

Reviews and Ratings

Sophia Wouter rated this wine as 99/100
Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

This wine was recommended by a friend, and a Christmas treat wine at this price. But it was spectacular. There was an explosion of flavours in my mouth... Rich berries, smoke, spice, vanilla and oak. I found all the flavours were distinct and I loved the way they came together. Makes me look forward to next Christmas.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
