Arabella
Reserve Western Cape Cabernet Sauvignon
Western Cape, South Africa
Light ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.
Nice fruity nose with cherries, strawberries, red currants, oak, smoke, barnyard, vegetables, spices, earth, cloves, black pepper and celery.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and nice thick legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, strawberries, red currants, tobacco leaf, licorice, spices, chocolates, vegetables and peppercorn.
Medium on the finish with fine grained tannins and tart raspberries.
This South African Cabernet is nice, but not very special. Showing mild complexity but not fully balanced. Needs a couple of years in the bottle to mature properly.
Needs 90 minutes to open up properly, show some tannins, and remove some of the acidity.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

This unusual Cab has a creamy mouthfeel with milk chocolate flavors, leading into a slightly acidic and oaky finish. It is medium bodied and a decent choice for an afternoon cocktail red.

Really nice, good nose, big body. Lingering aftertaste is a little less in your face, but still good

Fruity but not as much as I expected. Ok but not our style of cab. Not rich or interesting enough.

I liked this Cabernet Sauvignon from South Africa. Aromas of dried strawberry, cherry and graphite. Soft tannin and light in body.

Fruity and flavorful but a little sweet for a Cabernet Sauvignon. A little thin overall and flat aftertaste.
