Last night of magic at our second home. Big and bold. Green pepper and herbs. Will go great with African food.

You would not initially think this was a South African wine as it lacks the typical unique earthiness you would usually detect. Instead this has a huge cherry bouquet. It’s overwhelming initially but mellows after breathing for an hour and becomes a very respectable effort. Dark and syrupy and unique in its own right.

Great Cab. Tart Green Apple, Tobacco & leather notes. Slight black pepper spice but super drinkable and great price.
