A beautiful South African Bordeaux blend. If this were from Napa, it would be $75. But this one is a hair over $20.

Black currants and strawberries; slight bell pepper with a whisper of burnt sage. It is balanced, it has incredible weight, and the acid to tannin ratio is on point. Love is the word!
