I like South African red wines, my passion started in 2007 in preparation to my first visit to this lovely country. This is not a top notch Cabernet, more of a good price quality wine, yet it posses the characters of this appealing wine producing area. It has a deep red color, pleasant aroma of black current, red current and a touch of cedar wood, smooth medium body, soft , balanced and approachable even in this young age, fruity flattering finish with ice acidity. My score 88, drink to 2020.
