Aslina Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Deep ruby in color; cassis, graphite, and black plum on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like black cherries, boysenberries (I think), red bell pepper, and crushed gravel with a long finish.

After decanting for a little over an hour, I get baking spices, blackberries, and black plums on the nose; the tannins and acidity are still there, but a little more balanced; it tastes the same, but it is definitely better after the decant. I love this wine and how tart it is, but I know it's not for everyone. Nellie likes it with steak.

Aslina Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Not a strong smell. Has a light, delicate taste that lasts surprisingly long. It comes from a very small winery in South Africa, so it’s hard to find. I really enjoyed it. — 5 years ago

Aslina Umsasane Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

What a great wine. When looking for a South African wine, this one was recommended. Happy to support a woman owned business. This wine was fantastic. Leather, violet and some tart cherry on the nose. Medium body with leather and plum throughout. Tannins linger on the finish with some bright fruit flavor lingering as well. Made a South African dinner to pair and this was a great wine to go along with bobotie, chakalaka, and chicken sosaties. Would buy this one again in a heartbeat. — a year ago
