An unexpectedly yummy Bordeaux blend from coastal South Africa. Real bang for buck—smoked cedar, dark cherries, that kind of thing. A little heavy on the oaky stuff, but it’s balanced by really strong fruit. I just don’t think of this blend for South Africa, and at this price. Thanks Dexter Wines for the rec.

Opened this a few days ago. It was entirely too fancy too guzzle on a school night after a difficult work day, but I saw it and I wanted it and I make no apologies. Elegant. Enough tannin to keep me on my toes. Pairs well with hamburgers and running out of fucks to give. #laterwine

2020 vintage absolutely delish. Big and bold and very reasonably priced.
