Wednesday Wine Committee. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. Blind as usual.

One of the better South African wines I’ve had. Michael Rolland consulted. Someone stated it well...it was like a clean/less barnyard driven Bordeaux. Cherry vanilla pipe tobacco, bay leaf, old black cherries up front, with tartness and herbal twang at the finish. I guessed this was a Chilean Cab.
