Creative Block 5 Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
Great aromas of Dark fruits...love the spicy undergrowth ( underbrush) and hints of vanilla ! Lots of structure and complexity, and we'll balanced mouth feel in this 5 grape blend from South Africa!

A really wonderful South African Bordeaux style wine. It’s called creative block 5 because it has the five primary Bordeaux grapes blended into a nicely structured red with a complex set of flavours including blackberry, cherry and dark chocolate with hints of woody cedar, leather and cigar box. We decanted for 2 hours and paired it with a grilled ribeye that included our attempt to create the legendary “café de Paris sauce” (green tarragon-based-butter-shallot-white wine sauce) Amazing!

Excellent bang for the buck! Rich and complex, almost like a truly big wine.
