This 2018 Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is in a wonderful spot right now. It bursts from the glass with pronounced aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, raspberry, black plum, mint, dried herbs, wood smoke and a dash of violets. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, the wine offers ripe and polished tannins along with juicy acidity and concentrated, ripe red and black fruit, before concluding with a long, savory finish. Drink now until 2035.

Definite cab franc vibes. Big and juicy without the full body

2012 vintage Lovely plumb and raspberry nose, good oakiness, not spicy more dusty. Full flavored in mouth, dense fruit with soft tannins - this will age well. Good alcohol level which warm the lovely fruity after taste.

Good solid red. I think from the Stolenbach region near Cape Town
