An incredibly delicious and robust South African red wine for the price! Made from the classic Cabernet Sauvignon grape, this wine offers lots of gorgeous toasty, smoky oak, coffee and black fruit on the nose and palate. On the palate it actually lifts up with berry ripe flavours. Perfect for hamburgers.

Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

This warm, rich ruby red wine shows great complexity on the nose. There is a mixture of dark and red fruit, mocha and mint aromas with well balanced wood. Sweet, spicy undertones give this wine great depth.

Flagstone's Poetry wines are inspired by the balance, beauty and enjoyment of the wines that come from this region. Lots of bright ruby and dark berry fruit aromas. Pair with beef fillet in red wine reduction sauce. - Community Wine Reviews
